Genset Foundation Computation

The document provides specifications for the design of a concrete foundation for a generator including: - The engine stroke, speed, weight, empirical coefficient, number of cylinders, and physical dimensions of the generator. - Calculations for the minimum required weight of the foundation, recommended foundation depth, foundation area, volume, and actual weight. - The total bearing load, soil bearing load, allowable soil bearing capacity, and required factor of safety of at least 5. - The document ensures the design meets requirements for absorbing vibration from the generator weight and providing sufficient support.
