Handbook of Turbo generator foundation

"Handbook of Turbo generator foundation" is developed for the learners having minimum background of the subject. The author has attempted to keep a balance between fundamental theory, design procedure and technical computation in a way that is accessible for every reader. The mathematical illustration is limited to what is strictly necessary. Topic covered includes model generation, loading ,dynamic analysis procedure using computer aided design(CAD). The book brings the subject fully up to date, including the latest trend & techniques. Reference has been made to code of practice like DIN code, ACI code, Euro code, IS code etc. Understanding of subject from Civil Engineering point of view, albeit a good one, does not suffice for complete understanding of the subject . Keeping this aspect in mind , the author has introduced a chapter on " Know about Turbine, Generator, its Auxiliaries and foundation" to provide better insight of the subject. This book is primarily meant for designing table top foundation for turbine-generator machinery. However the provision of the book can be suitably used for design of foundation for other machines of similar types.
