The design of cooling tower foundation is a complex and meticulous project that requires consideration of the bearing capacity, stability, and interaction with the upper structure of the foundation. Here is a specific introduction:

1. Overview of Engineering Geology

Terrain and Geological Structure: The starting point for designing the foundation of a cooling tower is to understand the engineering geological conditions. Taking the Panshan Power Plant as an example, the foundation soil layers from top to bottom are cultivated soil layer, silty clay layer, weak silty clay layer, and clay and silty clay layer, with andesite at the bottom. This hierarchical distribution presents different challenges for foundation design, especially in terms of bearing capacity and stability.

Ground bearing capacity: According to geological conditions, there are significant differences in the standard bearing capacity values of each soil layer, ranging from 120kPa to 200kPa. This diversity requires designers to fully consider how to reasonably utilize the bearing capacity of different soil layers during design, in order to prevent uneven settlement and ensure the overall stability of the foundation.

2. Structural form and layout of cooling tower

The foundation design of the cooling tower must be prefabricated according to the blueprint provided by the equipment supplier.

3. Auxiliary requirements for cooling tower foundation

Fully consider the convenience of pipe laying and maintenance.
