Dear Er.gulilero Thanks for your Brief Answer.
As you said the Foundation design will be similar in lines with heavy machinery.
But in the foundation which i am design i don't have have have the Lateral Seismic Force directly below the Pedestals of transformer. A percentage of Vertical Load is to be applied at the CG of the Transformer for the Seismic Load. My query is about
1. How to distribute Seismic Load at CG of Transformer to Raft Foundation
2. I would Like to Know is there any ASCE codal provision available regarding the slope of the Pool /Soak Pit below the Transformer and its size calculation.
