Foundation analyzing of centrifugal ID fans in cement ...
This research was based on a finiteelement model (FEM) of large foundations such as induced draft (ID) fans. Threedimensional (3D) linear analyses were performed under arbitrary static and dynamic loads for various modulus of elasticity of concrete (E c) (20, 25, 28 and 30 GPa) and reinforcement (E s) (200, 250, 300 GPa).FEM results were compared with the existing ID fan foundations ...
