Base of stationary equipment

The last edit to this post was made by Dream 100 on 2017-1-18 at 17:17. For static devices, is it better to have a unified foundation or separate foundations?
This question should be asked to the civil engineering and structural engineering departments. The foundation of the equipment is generally not taken into consideration
It is overall for a single device.
The scope of stationary equipment is too broad; it needs to be determined based on the type of equipment. For example, horizontal storage tanks use a dispersed foundation, while vertical containers are fitted with an integral foundation...
Generally, the legs are arranged in a dispersed manner; if their diameter is small, they can be integrated as one unit. The saddles are also placed in a dispersed layout, and similar principles apply elsewhere. For specific details, consult the civil engineering team – the equipment department is only responsible for the equipment itself, while the civil engineering team handles the underlying infrastructure requirements
It’s not necessarily the case; it depends on what type of static equipment it is
SHT 3058-2005 Code for Basic Design of Heat Exchanger Equipment and Vessels in the Petrochemical Industry
Considerations such as the structural design and load-bearing capacity should be taken into account; generally, tower-type equipment and vertical vessels supported by pedestals should have an integral structure, while spherical tanks and equipment with legs should use dispersed foundations.
Analyze each issue on its own: should I go to a luxury hotel to eat seafood today, or stay home and have fried rice with eggs? Feel my pants pockets – I guess I’d better go home and starve:lol
Whether the base is integral or separate depends on the size, weight, dimensions of the equipment and the conditions at the site.
