This book describes the critical aspects to be considered while designing different process structures and Equipment foundations of dry process Cement Plants. These comprise tall and heavy process structures, material storage structures and foundations for heavy equipment. All these are subjected to heavy and dynamic loads due to the diverse equipment they support. As the Plant sizes have been increasing, Plant loads have become very large and critical, and these are to be safely carried by the respective supporting structures and foundations. Parameters that were not critical and ignored or not accounted for earlier when Cement plant sizes were more miniature have become essential to be correctly considered in the structural designs. The methods of analysis and structural design have become more sophisticated and involved. Worked out examples of Heavy Equipment foundations are included. This book highlights common design errors likely in steel structures and suggestions for ensuring safe Engineering of the respective structures of the Cement Plants. Execution of the structures is briefly covered & Development of the Structural Design, Engineering of the structures for their safety is Included. It is hoped that this book will help young engineers, understand the types of structures and equipment foundations & their respective critical features to be considered in their supporting structural designs. This book will also serve the experienced Engineers and Plant Managers as a guide for the design and proper plant operation & maintenance. This book is first of its kind & is expected to fill the knowledge gap in designing cement plant structures
