Design of Machine Foundation on Reinforced Sand

Dynamic analysis to evaluate the response of earth structures to dynamic stress applications, such as those produced by earthquakes, blasting, wind loading or machine vibrations are finding increased application in civil engineering practice. In the present investigation the authors have calculated the dynamic soil parameters, the coefficient of elastic uniform compression (Cu), coefficient of elastic uniform shear (Cτ), coefficient of elastic non-uniform compression(Cφ) and coefficient of elastic non-uniform shear(Cψ) by performing laboratory model cyclic tests on annular footing resting on un-reinforced and reinforced earth beds.
