Abstract
The paper illustrates through a practical example the step-by-step procedure adopted in designing a tabletop foundation supported on piles for a steam turbine generator with operating speed of 60 Hz. Finite element model of the tabletop foundation is generated in ANSYS. Analysis results are used to perform the static design checks. Dynamic analysis is performed to check for resonance and allowable amplitude limits of the foundation as specified by machine vendor.
