ABSTRACT:
A support structure is disclosed for a steam turbine having an output shaft driven for rotation about a horizontal axis. The support structure includes a horizontal open-centered rectangular base frame. Posts extend upwardly in cantilever fashion from the corners of the base frame. The turbine casing is vertically supported exclusively on the upper ends of the posts, and associated constraints resist translational and pivotal movement of the casing in relation to the base frame. The posts are axially stiff, yet are bendable to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the turbine casing.
