We want to tilt a 100 ton vertical generator rotor to horizontal position by placing it on 40 inch x 40 inch x 40 inch rebarred concrete cube.
The rotor will be hung from a crane at the top and it will be turned on its coupling flange (sitting on its edge on the concrete block) till it is horizontal.
Will this concrete cube hold the 100 ton weight ?
What I am worried about is the pressure at the point of contact of the coupling flange with the concrete block. The whole weight, at least for some time, will be concentrated at this line contact.
I have posted this in civil engineering forum also to get additional inputs.
