Hello everyone,
i have a some questions about machine foundation design.
1- do we have to do analysis for wind and seismic for heavy machine( 90000 lb)
or we have to show that overturning FS >1.5 , so no net uplift( but i m not sure witch chapter to use for heavy machine)
2- for anchor bolt, any way to find necessary length or just trial and error.
some reference advice to make anchor as long as possible
Thank you
