Tata Projects Limited: 3.1 Pile Spring Calculations

The document provides calculations for the natural frequencies of vibration modes for the foundation system of a power plant project. Six vibration modes are present and their frequencies are tabulated. Pile spring calculations are shown for both the static and dynamic stiffness of the piles, including parameters like pile capacity, load test results, stiffness equations, soil properties, and figures to determine stiffness factors. The modal analysis considers both the static and dynamic pile stiffnesses and the frequency separation criteria is met for both cases.

The natural frequencies are requested for first 10 modes of vibration. But only 6 modes are present in the
foundation system and they are tabulated below. Refer to ANSYS output in Sec 5.1 for natural frequency
output and mode participation factor table.

From Pile Load Test Results :
Pile Capacity = 320 Tons
As the load due to dynamics of the machine will be around 1/4 th of the pile capacity, stiffness corresponds
to 1/4 th of the pile capacity is considered in the moda lanalysis.
