ABSTRACT:
A support structure for a hydraulic turbine is disclosed where the turbine has a generally horizontal drive shaft enclosed within a bulb housing. The housing is contained within a hydraulic passage formed by duct walls within the structures foundation. A structural inner stay cone is provided in the bulb housing perpendicular to the axis of the drive shaft. An outer stay cone is provided in the duct wall coplanar with the inner stay cone. A pair of vertical stay columns extend from the bottom of the outer vane to the top of the outer stay cone while passing through and affixed to the inner stay cone. The stay columns are perpendicular to the drive shaft with the shaft extending between the two stay columns. Vertical piers abutting the stay columns extend from the duct wall to the housing both above and beneath the housing.
