Machinery Foundation & Grouting

Course Overview

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.

Course Objective

The course presents a systematic approach to fault diagnosis and failure prevention. It firstly adopts a general approach to machine deterioration, the mechanisms involved and the ways in which common deteriorative modes can be combated. It then turns to component-oriented studies of failure mechanisms in common items of plant. For each component type or machine system, the on-line and off-line symptoms of deterioration are presented, with significant emphasis being placed upon an inspection-based approach. Statistical methods of failure analysis are presented and examples are used to demonstrate best practice in the collection, analysis and interpretation of such data
