Mild steel lugs shall conform to IS: 432. 3. Design Basis 3.1 Foundation Design For foundation design, Safe Bearing Capacities values, Soil investigation report will be issued later as Amendment with the bid Minimum depth of foundation should be considered from NGL or FGL whichever is lower. 3.1.1 General Foundation sizing shall be based on working loads not on loads, which may have been increased by factors for the purpose of concrete design. For load combinations including seismic forces, the Safe Bearing Pressure of Soil and the Safe Bearing Load of piles shall be increased as permitted in IS: 1893. Grade of concrete to be used in foundation shall in general be as per the philosophy adopted for the entire structure. However, minimum cement content, type of cement, and any remedial actions, if required for foundations due to aggressiveness of subsoil water, shall be as stated elsewhere in this document. Minimum grade of concrete shall be M30. Under blast (due to hydrocarbon explosion) load combinations the design bearing pressure of soil shall not exceed twice the allowable static bearing pressure of soil. Pile capacity shall be similarly increased in blast condition to 1.5 times the permissible capacity under compression tension and shear modes. For tie beams, below ground consideration shall be given for designing, additionally, for superimposed load and / or traffic loading, where applicable. 3.1.2 Uplift on foundations In the design of foundations, the upward pressure of water, where applicable, shall be taken as the full hydrostatic pressure applied over the whole area. Ground water table shall be assumed to be at existing ground level for calculating the existing hydrostatic pressure. Any other upward load shall also be included in the design. Allowable loss of contract area between underside of foundation and soil (due to resultant overturning moment) under different loading conditions shall be as given below.

ISSUED : 16-11-2009 DIESEL HYDRO-TREATER UNIT (DHT) PAGE 7 OF 11 A B Load Combination Description Operating Load case (Plant operating, with or without Live Leads, for worst cases) Operating Load Case with Wind or Earthquake (with or without Live Loads, for worst cases). Operating Load case (Plant operating, with or without Live Loads, for worst cases) Operating Load Case with Wind or Earthquake (with or without Live Loads, for Worst cases). Allowable % Loss of Contact Area 0% to 10% up to 25% 0% to 20% up to 30% Where A = Foundations on Soil B = Foundations on Rock 3.1.3 Soil and hydrostatic pressure on walls below grade In the design of walls below grade, provision shall be made for the lateral pressure Of adjacent soil. Due allowance shall be made for possible surcharge from fixed or moving loads. When a portion or whole of the adjacent soil is below a free water surface, computations shall be based on the weight of the soil diminished by buoyancy, plus full hydrostatic lateral pressure. The lateral pressure from surcharge loads shall be taken in addition to the lateral earth pressure loads. 3.1.4 Stability of foundations All buildings, structures and foundations shall be designed, such that the safety factor shall not be less than the values mentioned below, in any condition. Overturning : 1.5 during Erection : 2.0 during Operation / Testing for without wind or seismic Load : 1.5 during Operation / Testing for with wind or seismic Load Sliding : 1.5 (Except for Retaining Wall where it shall be 1.75) For without wind or seismic Load Buoyancy : 1.2 :1.5 With wind or seismic Load Note : For factor of safety against overturning & sliding calculations, % weight of overburden over projected plan area of footing shall be considered as 100% except

ISSUED : 16-11-2009 DIESEL HYDRO-TREATER UNIT (DHT) PAGE 8 OF 11 for piperack, flood light mast, transmission tower, Switchyard, overhead tank etc. where it shall be considered as 50%. 3.1.5 Foundation on Soils: The bearing capacity used in design shall be based on both shear strength of soil as well as settlement. Allowable net bearing capacity of soil shall be as per Geotechnical report. Following settlement criteria for dead plus imposed load conditions shall be applicable unless specified in Geotechnical Report Foundation Type Allowable Settlement (mm) Foundation in unit areas, utility areas And foundations for Plant buildings. 25 mm settlement. Non plant buildings. 40 mm settlement Raft Foundations 40 mm settlement Foundations for Storage Tanks: a) Cone/Dome roof tanks. 300 mm edge settlement b) floating roof tanks. 150 mm edge settlement For transient loading, eg. Wind/seismic, settlement shall not be the design criteria and the SBC (safe bearing capacity) based on shear criteria shall be considered. 3.2 Pile Foundations Piles shall be designed as per IS: 2911(part 1 to 4) such that the Safe Working Load on the piles shall not be exceeded based on pile capacity value arrived from soil parameter available in referred soil report. Safe working load on piles shall be confirmed by the CONTRACTOR as per Consultant s specification or by conducting confirmatory pile test /soil test. The increase in Safe Working Load permitted due to wind /earthquake shall apply equally to uplift and shear conditions, subject to confirmations by the piling contractor in respect to the particular piling system. Design capacity shall be established by conducting sufficient number of initial load tests. Routine pile load tests shall be carried out as per relevant IS code. When any

ISSUED : 16-11-2009 DIESEL HYDRO-TREATER UNIT (DHT) PAGE 9 OF 11 major machinery is to be supported on piles, behaviour of the piles under dynamic loading conditions as established by necessary field tests shall be considered. The capacity of pile groups shall be obtained by applying appropriate group efficiency factors. Where piles pass through filled ground the available pile safe working load shall be suitably reduced to account for negative skin friction caused by settlement of fill. Where suitable consideration shall be given to reducing draw down effects by slip coating the piles. While computing horizontal capacity, piles shall be treated as fixed head or free head depending on the degree of fixity at the top. Top of pile cap shall be minimum 1.5m below the ground level. Driven cast in situ piles shall have safe distance (as per IS Code requirement) from the existing structure to avoid any damage due to vibration. Minimum embedment of piles in pile caps shall be 100 mm. 3.3 Mechanical Equipment Foundations Mechanical equipment foundations shall satisfy the requirements of IS: 2974 and any other parameters as per machine vendors. Foundation block extensions supporting auxiliary equipments requiring rigid positioning with respect to the main equipment shall be detailed to act integrally with the block. Generally, foundations and structures supporting rotating machinery shall be so proportioned that their natural frequency shall not fall within the range of 0.8 to 1.2 of normal operating speed of the equipment. Further, design shall be carried out such that amplitude of vibration during normal operation or other critical conditions shall not exceed the allowable amplitude specified by the equipment manufacturer or IS: 2974,whichever is more stringent. The above design criterion may be omitted for centrifugal pumps and fans and other minor rotating equipment weighing less than 1 ton or if the mass of the rotating parts are less than 1/100 th of the mass of foundation installed directly on concrete foundation provided that the weight of foundation is not less than 3 times of the equipment weight. In such cases, dynamic analysis is not necessary. When dynamic analysis is called for: The combined centre of gravity of the machine and foundation system shall, as far as possible, pass through the centre of area of the foundation raft or centroid of the

ISSUED : 16-11-2009 DIESEL HYDRO-TREATER UNIT (DHT) PAGE 10 OF 11 pile group. Wherever unavoidable eccentricity shall be less than 5% for block foundations and 3% for frame foundations. However, in highly compressible soils, no eccentricity shall be permitted. Foundations shall be so designed that natural frequency of the foundation system shall not resonate with the following: a) Operating speed of the motor / turbine b) Operating speed of the machine c) 2 x operating speed of the machine d) Critical speed of the machine (for centrifugal machines) Where deviations (resulting from inaccuracies in soil parameter measurements, approximations in design method, etc.) from calculated natural frequencies, leading to amplitudes in excess of specified limits, are foreseen, provisions for increasing foundation mass without removal of the machine and without affecting surrounding space availability or connected piping shall be made, if possible. Machine foundations shall satisfy the following requirements: Minimum reinforcement as per requirements of IS: 2974 shall be provided unless required otherwise by design. All units of the foundation system, except foundation raft shall be provided with symmetric reinforcement on opposite faces, even if not required by design considerations. No common raft shall be designed for set of machines. The soil stress below foundations under dead loads shall not exceed 80% of the allowable soil bearing capacity, or safe load on pile, for static loading. The CONTRACTOR shall ensure that there is no transfer of vibrations from machine foundations to any part of the adjoining structures. Such foundations shall be isolated from other foundations and floor /paving slab by providing adequate gap between the foundation faces and surrounding soil mass; the gap shall be filled with fine Shalitex Board. The foundations and its superstructure shall be separated from adjacent floors and platforms. Clear air gap shall be provided in superstructure to avoid transmission of vibration to adjacent structures. Special note shall be given on the drawing in this respect, and suitable details shall be shown as required.

ISSUED : 16-11-2009 DIESEL HYDRO-TREATER UNIT (DHT) PAGE 11 OF 11 Block foundations for machine shall be cast in a single concreting operation. Foundations consisting of various blocks of the same machine seated on a common foundation raft may be provided with a single, properly designed construction joint at the top of base raft. However, a special note shall always be given on the drawing regarding the recommended procedure of construction. All faces of the foundation block shall be provided with surface reinforcement. Minimum reinforcement diameter in horizontal and vertical directions shall be 12 tor, and maximum spacing of bars shall not exceed 200 mm. For frame foundations, base raft shall be cast in a single concreting operation. A properly designed construction joint shall be provided between the base slab and columns. The entire superstructure of columns and upper deck shall be cast in a continuous concreting operation. If height of the frame columns above raft level exceeds 8.0 m, an additional construction joint at the junction of columns / top-deck may be provided. The location of beams and columns, and their reinforcement shall be arranged, as far as possible, symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the machine. The transverse frames (perpendicular to the axis of the machine) shall be located directly under the bearings, wherever possible. Adequate haunches shall be provided at all intersections of beams and column to avoid concentration of stresses and increase general rigidity of the frame. The minimum beam depth shall be one-fifth of the span and the beam width is normally equal to the width of the column, consistent with anchor bolt requirements, embedded depth, and edge distances etc. Weight of base raft of the frame foundation shall not be less than the combined weight of the machine and foundation superstructure above the base raft, i.e. columns, top-deck slab/beams etc. For frame type of foundations, all the elements of foundations shall be provided with top and bottom, two way reinforcements. Reinforcement shall be provided on all the faces of beams and columns even if not required by design calculations. The diameter of main bars in column / beam shall be so selected to limit the maximum spacing of bars to 150 mm.
