Calculation Method
[1] Determine the imposed load from the Pumps to the soil and compare with an assumed allowable gross soil bearing
capacity.
[2] Determine the dimensions for the Pumps' Foundation and assess its dynamic performance.
[3] Determine the reinforcemt for the Pumps' Foundation and assess its dynamic performance.
Assumptions
Grade of concrete, fcu = 30 N/mm2, Grade of steel, fy = 410 N/mm2,
Assumed soil bearing capacity= 50 KN/m 2.

Conclusions
The results of the analysis show that the foundation dimensions are adequate to support the dead and dynamic loads. The
imposed stress to the soil, the eccentric and natural frequency are acceptable. Nominal reinforcement provided is
adequate.
