Abstract
The largest compressor train in North America was installed for a new ethylene production plant at the Nova Chemicals Facility located near Joffre, Alberta. To illustrate the effect of soil-pile-structure interaction, the dynamic behavior of the structure using flexible piled foundation is compared to the same structure fixed to a rigid base in this paper. Both field and laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the soil properties including down hole seismic tests to provide soil shear wave velocities at different depths. Different design options are considered and an optimum design selected to limit vibration and produce a safe, economic system. The method and procedure used in this study can be applied to the design of tall buildings, bridges and offshore platform with soil-pile-structure interaction under seismic, blast, sea wave and other dynamic loads.
