Concrete Foundations For Turbine Generators: Analysis, Design, And Construction

A comprehensive guide on the analysis, design, and construction of concrete foundations for turbine generators (TGs), published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The manual details the specific requirements for both steam turbine generator (STG) and combustion turbine generator (CTG) foundations, covering aspects like equipment components, preliminary layout, and sizing guidelines. A significant portion of the text addresses foundation loads, load combinations, and dynamic/static serviceability analyses, including methods for finite element (FE) modeling of the soil-foundation system and specialized acceptance criteria set by manufacturers. Furthermore, it discusses strength and stability design considerations, specialized embedded items like anchor bolts and jacking posts, and the use of vibration isolated foundation systems (VIS), alongside necessary construction considerations and tolerances.
