The committee has developed a discussion document representing the state-of-the-art of static equipment foundation engineering and construction. It presents the various design criteria, and methods and procedures of analysis, design, and construction currently being applied to static equipment foundations by industry practitioners. The purpose of the report is to present the various methods. It is not intended to be a recommended practice, but rather a document which encourages discussion and comparison of ideas.
