The book provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of soils and their engineering applications, encompassing machine foundations. Its primary objective is to foster a clear understanding of the subject matter. Comprising sixteen chapters, the book begins by introducing the reader to the diverse challenges in soil dynamics. Chapter 2 delves into the concepts of theory of vibrations, discussing their applications in designing vibration absorbers and pickups. Chapter 3 explores wave propagation in elastic mediums, including wave refraction in layered media. Chapter 4 focuses on the methodology for determining dynamic properties of soils through various laboratory and field tests. Chapters 5 and 6 address dynamic earth pressures in retaining walls and dynamic bearing capacity of footings, respectively. Chapters 7 and 8 explore the dynamic behavior of pile foundations and slopes. Chapter 9 examines the causes of liquefaction of soils and the prediction of liquefaction potential. Chapter 10 outlines the procedure for estimating the unbalanced forces in various types of machines. Chapters 11, 12, and 13 delve into the analysis and design of foundations for reciprocating machines, hammers, and turbo-generators, respectively. Chapter 14 addresses vibration isolation and screening problems. Chapter 15 discusses the analysis and design of reinforced earth walls located in seismic areas. Chapter 16 presents a novel concept of a conventional rigid retaining wall with reinforced backfill, offering a comprehensive analysis and design procedure considering seismic forces.
