Machine Foundations or Dynamics of Foundations CE 532 Dynamics of Soil and Foundations Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Topics oO Dynamic stiffness and damping constants of shallow foundation- = Circular rigid foundation on elastic half space excited vertically, laterally, torsion or rocking, = Effective stiffness and damping of such systems, = Modelling of soil medium by frequency dependent and frequency independent elements. = Design of machine foundations. o Dynamic stiffness and damping constants of single pile ands pile group = Analysis for vertical, lateral, rocking modes of vibrationIntroduction O The design of machine foundations is more complex than that of foundations, which support static load only. In general a machine foundation weighs several times as much as the machine it supports. O The amplitude of motion of a machine at its operating frequency is the most important parameter to be determined in designing a machine foundation, in addition to determining the system’s natural frequency. Produce periodic “produce impact loads Y High-speed machines like unbalanced force like forging hummers and _turbo generators or rotary “compressors and punching press, stamping compressors, turbines reciprocating engines, machines ¥ Generally 3000-10000 blowers — 50-250 rpm v the dynamic force "pm Diesel and gas attains a peak value ina engines ~ 300-1000rpm_ very short time and then the unbalanced forces dies out gradually can be considered to vary sinusoidally.General requirements of machine foundation © The foundation should be able to carry the superimposed loads Amplitude(mm)(Log scale) —> without causing shear failure of the underlying soil. O The settlement should be within the permissible limits. O The combined center of gravity of machine and the foundation should be on the vertical line passing through the center of gravity of the base plane. O There should be no resonance. O The amplitude of motion at operating frequencies should not exceed the limiting amplitude. > The most important parameters > Natural frequency of the machine-foundation-soil system. > Amplitude of motion of the machine at its operating frequency 2.50 1.25 0.50 cates ..
