The performance, safety and stability of machines depends largely on
their design, manufacturing and interaction with environment. Machine
foundations should be designed in such a way that the dynamic forces
transmitted to the soil through the foundation, eliminating all
potentially harmful forces. This handbook is designed primarily for the
practising engineers engaged in design of machine foundations. It covers
basic fundamentals for understanding and evaluating dynamic response of
machine foundation systems with emphasis is on detailed dynamic
analysis for response evaulation. Use of commercially available Finite
Element packages, for analysis and design of the foundation, is
recommended. Theory is supported by results from practice in the form of
examples.
