Abstract

Minimum-weight design of a machine foundation on an inhomogeneous soil is considered. The soil model under the base of block corresponds to a uniform layer overlying a uniform half-space. Furthermore, the block may be surrounded by a backfill. The optimal designs of a vertically excited rectangular machine foundation are found for a number of layer thicknesses and the ratios of the distortional wave velocity in the layer to that in the underlying half-space. The results obtained in the case of the layered soil are compared with those for a uniform half-space. It provides an insight into the action of the soil-foundation-machine system from the point of view of performance and safety.
