E GANTRY FOUNDATION DESIGN
Concrete shall conform to the requirements mentioned in IS: 456 and all the
tests shall be conducted as per relevant Indian Standard Codes as mentioned in
Standard field quality plan appended with the specification. A minimum grade
1 of M25 concrete shall be used for all structural/load bearing members as per
latest IS: 456 (latest revision).

The switchyard foundation's plinths shall be minimum 300mm above finished

2 yard level.

Minimum 75mm thick lean concrete (1:4:8) shall be provided below all
underground structures, foundations, trenches etc. to provide a base for
3 construction.

Concrete made with Portland cement shall be carefully cured and special
4 importance shall be given during the placing of concrete and removal of
shuttering.
The design and detailing of foundations shall be done based on the approved
soil data and sub-soil conditions as well as for all possible critical loads and the
5 combinations.

Limit state method of design shall be adopted unless specified otherwise in the
6 specification.
For detailing of reinforcement IS: 2502 and SP: 16 shall be followed. TMT bars
conforming to IS: 1786 shall be used as reinforcement. However, in specific
7 areas mild steel (Grade I) conforming to IS: 432 can also be used.

Foundations shall be designed for the critical loading combination of the steel
8 structure and or equipment and/or superstructure.

If required protection to the foundation, shall be provided to take care of any

special requirements for aggressive alkaline soil, black cotton soil or any soil
9 which is detrimental/harmful to the concrete foundations

All structures shall be checked for sliding and overturning stability during both
construction and operating conditions for various combination of loads
10

For checking against overturning, weight of soil vertically above footing shall be
11 taken and inverted frustum of pyramid of earth on foundation should not be
considered
The tower and equipment foundations shall be checked for a factor of safety of
12 2.2 for normal condition and 1.65 for short circuit condition against sliding,
overturning and pullout.
 Earth pressure for all underground structures shall be calculated using
coefficient of earth pressure at rest. Co-efficient of active or passive earth
pressure (whichever is applicable). However, for the design of substructures of
13 any underground enclosures, earth pressure at
rest shall be considered.

The foundations shall be proportioned so that the estimated total and

differential movements of the foundations are not greater than the movements
14 that the structure or equipment is designed to accommodate.

15 Grout is needed to adjust the level

16 Grout to transfer the load from steel to foundation
Grout should have design compressive strength at least twice the strength of
17 fondation concrete.
When base plates become larger then 600mm, it is recommended that one or
18 two grout holes be provided to allow the grout to flow easier
Non-shrink grout are recommended to use for grouting of major steel
19 structures and stationary equipment.
