    The Bearing Capacity for HPDC


    Machine Installations

    Given Data:

    • Clearance between tie bars: 36.5 inches

    • Minimum and maximum die height: 20 to 40 inches

    • Weight of steel per cubic inch: 0.2816 lb/in³

    Step 1: Convert Dimensions to Centimetres

    1 inch = 2.54 cm

    • Clearance between tie bars: 36.5 inches x 2.54 cm/inch = 92.71 cm

    • Minimum die height: 20 inches x 2.54 cm/inch = 50.8 cm

    • Maximum die height: 40 inches x 2.54 cm/inch = 101.6 cm

    • Weight of steel per cubic inch: 0.2816 lb/in³

    Step 2: Calculate the Weight of the Die

    Assuming the dimensions of the die are 92.71 cm x 92.71 cm x 76.2 cm and using the weight of steel
    per cubic inch:

    Weight of Die = (92.71 cm * 92.71 cm * 76.2 cm) * 0.2816 lb/in³ = 16686.15 grams

    Step 3: Convert Die Weight to Kilograms

    To convert the die weight to kilograms:

    Weight in Kilograms = 16686.15 grams / 1000 grams/kg = 16.69 kg

    Step 4: Determine the Total Weight

    Now, let's assume the following additional weights:

    • Machine weight: 45 tons (1 ton = 1000 kg)

    • Fluid weight (400 gal x 9/2000): 1.8 tons (1 ton = 1000 kg)

    • Auxiliary equipment weight: 1.25 tons (1 ton = 1000 kg)

    Total Weight = Machine Weight + Fluid Weight + Die Weight + Auxiliary Equipment Weight

    Total Weight = 45000 kg + 1800 kg + 16.69 kg + 1250 kg = 48166.69 kg

    Step 5: Convert the Weight of the Concrete Pad

    Let's assume the concrete pad has dimensions of 671.18 cm x 190.5 cm and a thickness of 40.64 cm.

    Weight of Concrete = (671.18 cm x 190.5 cm x 40.64 cm) * 2.54 g/cm³ = 5239621.74 grams

    Step 6: Convert the Weight of Concrete to Kilograms

    Weight of Concrete = 5239621.74 grams / 1000 grams/kg = 5239.62 kg


    Bharat Sharma

    Step 7: Determine the Total Bearing Weight

    Total Bearing Weight = Total Weight + Weight of Concrete Pad

    Total Bearing Weight = 48166.69 kg + 5239.62 kg = 53406.31 kg

    Step 8: Calculate the Bearing Pressure on Soil

    To find the bearing pressure on the soil, divide the total bearing weight by the area of the pad:

    Pad Area = 671.18 cm x 190.5 cm = 127705.59 cm²

    Bearing Pressure = Total Bearing Weight (kg) / Pad Area (cm²)

    Bearing Pressure = 53406.31 kg / 127705.59 cm² = 0.417 kg/cm²

    Conclusion: In this example, the bearing pressure on the soil is calculated to be approximately 0.417
    kg/cm², assuming fine loose sandy soil. To ensure that the soil can support this weight without
    settling or compacting, it's crucial to compare the calculated bearing pressure to the recommended
    bearing capacity values for the specific soil type. If the calculated pressure exceeds the
    recommended capacity, additional measures such as soil compaction or piling may be necessary to
    ensure a stable foundation for the HPDC machine.
