Popis: | Design of machine foundations requires the prediction of the dynamic response of the foundation system at the frequencies of interest. The response is typically quantified in terms of a number of parameters that include the displacement, the dynamic stiffness, the resonant frequency, the amplitude at the resonant frequency and the natural frequency. The objective of this study was to investigate the vertical dynamic response of an embedded foundation experimentally. It was found that embedment increases the stiffness, damping and natural frequency of a foundation system, reduces the displacement and resonant amplitude, but that embedment has very little effect on the resonant frequency. |
