CE1015 Introduction to Soil Dynamics and Machine Foundations Syllabus


CE1015 INTRODUCTION TO SOIL DYNAMICS AND MACHINE FOUNDATIONS 3 0 0 100

OBJECTIVE
At the end of this program the, student is expected to assess the dynamic properties of soil and various design parameters required for the design of machine foundation as well as design of foundation for various reciprocating machines.


1. INTRODUCTION 9
Vibration of elementary systems-vibratory motion-single degree freedom system-
free and forced vibration with and without damping

2. WAVES AND WAVE PROPAGATION 9
Wave propagation in an elastic homogeneous isotropic medium- Raleigh, shear and compression waves-waves in elastic half space

3. DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF SOILS 9
Elastic properties of soils-coefficient of elastic, uniform and non-uniform compression - shear-effect of vibration dissipative properties of soils-determination of dynamic properties of soil- codal provisions

4. DESIGN PROCEDURES 9
Design criteria -dynamic loads - simple design procedures for foundations under reciprocating machines - machines producing impact loads - rotary type machines

5. VIBRATION ISOLATION 9
Vibration isolation technique-mechanical isolation-foundation isolation-isolation by location-isolation by barriers- active passive isolation tests.
