Design Calculation-Elevated foundation for Transformer

Basic Design principles: – Structural Concrete shall be designed in accordance with the ‘General Construction in concrete Code of Practice (IS 456 2000 )

BASIC LOAD CALCULATIONS

BASIC LOAD CALCULATIONS

SEISMIC LOAD: – IS 1893(part 1):2002

 Zone Factor: – 0.16

Importance factor: – 1.5

Response reduction Factor: – 5

DEAD LOAD: – (i) Terrace Slab (ii) Parapet Wall load (iii) Self weight

Live Load: – Transformer Load: – 8 Ton

Load Combination

  1. 1.5 D.L. + 1.5 LL.
  2. 1.2 D.L. + 1.2 LL+ 1.2 EQX
  3. 1.5 D.L. + 1.2 LL+ 1.2 EQZ

Other Loading Combination on the Basic of Static Load Analysis    

Where,

D.L. = Dead Load

LL=Live Load

EQX = Earthquake in X-direction

EQZ = Earthquake in Z-direction
