Albert Gerilla Exercise No.8 (Machine Foundation)

1. For an engine weighing 11,000 kg with a speed of 1200 rpm, the required foundation base area is 124.8 sq ft assuming a soil bearing capacity of 48 kPa. 2. For an engine weighing 23,750 lbs with a foundation area of 150 sq ft, the required speed is 1922 rpm assuming a soil bearing capacity of 0.45 kg/cm^2. 3. For a foundation requiring 12 cu m of concrete with a 1:3:5 mixture, 50 bags of cement weighing 40 kg each would be needed.
