Foundation embedment plate
Thread Content
When setting the requirements, a situation arose: one end of the foundations for the horizontal tank and the heat exchanger is a sliding end, so it is necessary to request a embedment plate from the civil engineering team. Generally, the size of the embedding plate should be slightly larger than the bottom surface of the equipment legs and smaller than the top surface of the foundation. But is it acceptable if the embedding plate has the same size as the top surface of the foundation? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two plate-burying methods for both the equipment and the foundation?
Generally, the sliding end of a horizontal tank is on the support, not on the embedded parts. Generally, the size of the embedded parts is larger than the area of the contact surface between the support and the ground (sometimes the length and width of the embedded parts are also related to the foundation of the horizontal tank). :victory:

As mentioned above, in general, the sliding end of a horizontal tank is located on the support, not on the embedded parts. Generally, the size of the embedded parts is larger than the area of the contact surface between the support and the ground (sometimes the length and width of the embedded parts are also related to the foundation of the horizontal tank). If the dimensions are the same, it is possible to consider enlarging the foundation design a bit; if the foundation cannot be enlarged, it is also feasible to appropriately reduce the size of the embedded components. Since a safety factor is added when calculating embedments and foundations, the dimensions can be adjusted to suit the site conditions.
The size of the base cross-section can be equal to the area of the embedded components; during construction, concrete can be poured using methods such as openings.
