Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Daily Schedule: 12pm MST - Session begins 3pm MST - Adjournment This course is divided into two sessions. Each session will be 6 hours in duration. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available. It is often the case in foundation design that understanding of machine, foundation and soil data can be lacking. Machine data is often used at the foundation design stage without proper awareness of its concepts. Better communication between foundation designer and machine manufacturer can serve to improve the foundation performance and thus machine performance; which can go some way to rectify this problem. Therefore it is imperative that those involved in the foundation design process completely understand all the relevant constraints.
This course will focus on the improvements needed in the design process; with the sole objective of enabling practicing engineers to understand the dynamics of machine foundation system. The course covers basic fundamentals necessary for understanding and evaluating the dynamic responses of a machine foundation system. The main focus of the course will be to cover the following systems: Rotary Machines, Reciprocating Machines and Vibration Isolation System.
The course is aimed primarily at practicing engineers as well as for engineers at the junior level.
Design of industrial machine foundations is a composite discipline, involving elements of; structural engineering (statics and dynamics), foundation, geotechnical and mechanical engineering.
Objective
The objective of this course is to improve participants’ understanding of machine foundation design. This will result in the improved performance of machines with different types of equipment.
Who Should Attend
This course would be beneficial to;
- Structural engineers
- Civil engineers
- Public works and construction department employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments
- Engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of foundations.
The course will be of interest to a wide range of practicing civil engineers at different stages in their careers. Some familiarization with soil mechanics is desirable but the knowledge is not required at a specialist level.
Special Feature:
- Participants will work on several design project examples under instructor guidance.
- A design software demo (Dyna 6) will be demonstrated in class with comparison of other available commercial software.
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Analyze which foundation system should be considered in a specific design.
- Recognize the important aspects of foundation dynamic behavior; and the limitations of different models used for dynamic analysis of foundations.
- Determine the stiffness and damping constants of shallow and deep foundations.
- Calculate the response of shallow and deep foundations to dynamic loads.
- Find the natural frequencies of foundation systems.
- Specify suitable field and laboratory investigation programs for foundations subjected to dynamic loads.
- Develop modeling skills for design of foundations subjected to dynamic loads.
- Achieve confidence in the design of foundations subjected to dynamic loads.
- Gain comprehensive evaluation of Site Soil Data
- Achieve better understanding of Machine Data and its use in foundation design
- Apply improvement in the Design Modeling and analyses Techniques
- Estimate the proper vibration isolation for your machineries
- Choose the most efficient equipment foundation for your application
- Understand the soil dynamic interaction with equipment foundation
- Estimate the different machineries dynamic loads
- Understand the dynamic soil foundation interaction
- Design deep and shallow foundations for machines
- Design the proper shallow or deep foundation for dynamic loading conditions
Special Features
- Participants will work on several design project examples under instructor guidance.
- DYNA Software
Two full case studies will be analyzed using DYNA software; including modeling procedures and analyses results.
Case 1: Injection pump foundation dynamic analysis concrete block FDN without piles.
Case 2: Mainline pump foundation dynamic analysis - concrete block FDN with 10 piles.
Dynamic soil properties will be reasonably assumed.
