Overview

This module performs dynamic analysis of a Block Foundation resting on ground and reports frequencies and amplitudes corresponding to different modes of vibration. The analysis is based on the method proposed by Barkan [1]. Block Foundation (as sho n in Fig. 1! is ideali"ed as a system ith si# degrees of freedom $ three translations along three mutually perpendicular a#es x, y and z and three rotations about the same a#es. The modes corresponding to translation along the vertical a#is (z! and the rotation about the same a#is are treated as uncoupled. This is based on the assumption that the common centre of gravity of machine and foundation and the centroid of the base area lie on the same vertical line or ithin a tolerable limit. %n the other hand& the sliding and rocking motions in each of the t o vertical planes (xz and yz! passing through the common centre of gravity of machine and foundation are separately coupled.

The effect of damping has been ignored and the supporting soil is modelled by linear eightless springs. 'ome soil parameters have been introduced to yield the spring stiffness of soil in various modes. These parameters are (oefficient of elastic uniform compression (("!& (oefficient of elastic non$uniform compression ((!& (oefficient of elastic uniform shear ((!& and (oefficient of elastic non$uniform shear ((!. The spring stiffnesses of soil ()! for the various modes of vibration are calculated as For vertical motion For hori"ontal (or sliding! motion For rocking motion For torsional motion (rotation about vertical a#is! ," )"* (" +f ) * ( +f ) * ( ,# (or y! ) * (
