Abstract
There is disclosed a process for making a foundation system for a platform. In an embodiment, the process includes obtaining design data relating to load and soil characteristics; performing modal tests on a pile member installed in soil to determine natural frequency of the pile member; performing vibration tests on a pile member to determine stiffness; forming a model of using data obtained; testing, in silico, how the model responds to frequencies in a range of the equipment; adjusting, in silico, the model to satisfy design criteria; forming, in silico, a plan of a foundation system based on the adjusted model; installing the foundation system based on the plan; performing vibration tests on the installed foundation system, and measuring vibration levels; and adjusting the foundation system to avoid resonance at a natural frequency by one of stiffen vibrations or dampen vibrations. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
