IS 2974 : Part 4 : 1979 Code of practice for design and construction of machine foundations: Part 4 Foundations for rotary type machines of low frequency

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard (Part IV) deals with the design and construction of foundations, such as block foundations, framed foundations and other similar supported constructions of reinforced concrete for the installation of rotary machines of speeds up to 1 500 rev/min. Some typical machines of this type are crushing mills, pumps, motor generators, compressors and rolling mill stands.

Figures 1,2 and 3 show typical foundations for a crushing mill (pulverizer unit), a primary air fan and an instrument air compressor, respectively.
