Abstract:A finite element model of the spring vibration-isolated foundation for a turbo-generator was established by using SeismoStruct for time history analysis. The frequency, vibration mode, seismic responses, inter-story deformation, and spring deformation of the foundation were analyzed. Results show that the natural frequencies of the spring vibration-isolated foundation are lower than those of common ones and the vertical frequencies are far from the working disturbance frequency of the units. The spring vibration-isolated device can reduce the acceleration response of the bedplate under an earthquake and redistribute the horizontal earthquake action according to the stiffness, thus ensuring the maximum seismic capacity of the column. A numerical simulation shows that the foundation design meets the standard of the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings in China and achieves the goal of spring vibration isolation. Overall, the foundation design is reasonable, safe, and reliable.
