Define the governing demandPhase 01Full screen ⤢

Define the governing demand

The design criteria establish equipment importance, seismic parameters, operating loads, load transfer, material strengths, and the combinations used for foundation and anchor checks.

Engineer the anchorsPhase 02Full screen ⤢

Engineer the anchors

Post-installed anchors were checked for tension, shear, interaction, concrete breakout, edge effects, embedment, and installation conditions using product-specific design data.

Verify pad stabilityPhase 03Full screen ⤢

Verify pad stability

The reinforced pad was checked for soil bearing, sliding, overturning, full compression, and reinforcement under equipment weight and lateral seismic action.

Coordinate installationPhase 04Full screen ⤢

Coordinate installation

The final structural sheet gives the pad dimensions, reinforcement, clear cover, anchor pattern, minimum embedment, grout, subbase, and construction notes needed for installation.
