Then,
The foundation mass should be from 3 to 5 times the weight of the machinery it is supposed to support.

Say, use maximum value = 4.2, (Machinery Foundation; by Jose M. Perez, Jr.; PME)
so that;
ℎ = 4.2(24.02)
h = 100.884 𝑖𝑛 𝑜𝑟 8.407 ft

Say; use
𝜃 = 41°
Solving for L’;
𝐿′ = 𝐿 + 2𝑦

𝑦 = ℎ ∗ 𝑡𝑎𝑛𝜃

Then, solving for the volume of spread footed machine foundation at 𝜃 = 41°:
𝐿 + 𝐿′ 𝑊 + 𝑊′

So that, for the weight of spread footed machine foundation at𝜃 = 41°;
Wf = δf x Vf

Wf > min Wf
𝟏 𝟕𝟐𝟐 𝟔𝟎𝟒. 𝟔𝟓𝟕 𝒍𝒃𝒇 > 𝟏 𝟔𝟗𝟔 𝟒𝟓𝟓𝐥𝐛𝐟
Since the value of actual weight of the spread footed machine foundation is greater than the minimum weight
required; dimensions are now okay.
Note; Once the dimensions are OKAY, testing if the machine foundation is SAFE must conducted. To
determine if the dimensions are safe it must satisfy the following:
𝑆𝐼 < 𝑆𝐷
Thus;

Therefore;
The machine foundation is SAFE.

f. Concrete foundations should have steel bar reinforcements placed both vertically and horizontally, to avoid
thermal cracking. Weight of the reinforcing steel bars should be from 1/2 % to 1% of the weight of the
foundation.
