What happen if fitter done this ?

Anjani03 says:

I need to design concrete pad of generator (8000 lbs) and anchoring detail for the seismic zone. Should I design concrete pad as I am designing a simply supported slab on ground? Also I am kinda confuse on how to come up with tension and shear loading for anchoring. If I am not wrong my tension load will be (equipment selft wt + seismic) and shear will be only seismic?

Thank you!
