FOUNDATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL MACHINES
Handbook for Practising Engineers
K G Bhatia
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2ND EDITION
This 2nd edition is based on the feedback from the Practising Engineers during various training programs conducted by the author. The additions and modifications made in the 2nd edition are broadly as under:
- Mathematical Derivations from all the chapters have been taken to Appendix placed at the end of the book.
- Additional parameters, pertaining to machine and foundation that influence response, have been added to the respective chapters.
- Many more detailed design examples have been added for the benefit of the practising engineers.
- Machine foundation design for R & M Projects needs special attention/treatment. A chapter has been added for the same.
- Difficulties experienced by designers while using standard structural analysis packages for machine foundation designs have been added in modeling and analysis.
It is anticipated that this 2nd edition shall bridge the knowledge gaps and shall place practising engineers in a comfortable position with regard to designs of machine foundations.

FOUNDATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL CRUSHING MILLS
Design Aids for Practising Engineers
K G Bhatia
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BOOK
Foundations for Industrial Crushing Mills is written as Design Aids specifically for practicing engineers. Drawing on the author's 50+ years of industry experience, the book emphasizes the physical understanding of dynamics as applied to mill foundations. It covers the fundamentals needed to understand and evaluate the dynamic response of these foundations. The book lists the sequential steps required for designing foundations for Rod, Ball, and Sag Mills, focusing on achieving satisfactory performance for both the mill and its associated machinery. Beyond the core design philosophy, it addresses the modeling and analysis of Mill-Foundation system. This includes:
- Modeling the Mill and Foundation, and
- Various Analysis Techniques using Finite Element Methods (FEM) and other Structural Design Methods (SDM), complementing classical approaches.
It also briefly covers essential construction precautions. This text will be beneficial to Practicing Engineers, Students, Academicians/Researchers, and the industry. The text is covered in eight chapters:
1: Overview of Crushing Mills and their Foundations
2: Dynamics of Mill Foundations. Theory of Vibration with specific application to Design of Mill Foundations
3: Design parameters of Mill, Foundation & Geo-Technical parameters, required for design of mill foundation
4: Modelling & Analysis (includes FE Modelling) of Mill Foundation. All aspects of modelling & vibration analysis
5: Design methods: a step-by-step approach for conducting the design of a mill foundation covering ‘Finite Element Method (FEM)’ and ‘Structural Design & Analysis Methods (SDM)’ using commercially available packages.
6: Complete design of Foundation for Real-life Crushing Mill Supported over Soil
7: Complete design of Foundation for Real-life Crushing Mill on Piles
8: Construction aspects related to Mill Foundations.
