Foundations for Vibrating Machines
Abstract
The paper discusses the methods of analysis for determining the response of foundations subjected to vibratory loads. the design of a machine foundation is generally made by idealizing the foundation- soil system as spring-mass dashpot model having one or two degrees of freedom. Most machine foundations are treated as surface footing and the soil spring and damping values are determined using the elastic-half space analog. the spring and damping values for response of embedded foundations can also be determined from the elastic half space concept as per Novak's work. the soil spring and damping values can also be obtained following the impedance - compliance function approach. the paper also presents a brief discussion of the predicted and observed response of machine foundations.
