Course Learning Objectives

  • The basic course in soil mechanics/geotechnical engineering generally introduces the fundamental concepts, principles and applications of soil as engineering material with properties under static loading.
  • This course on ‘Soil Dynamics’ discusses
  • About the fundamentals of vibrations
  • about the behaviour and properties/response of soil as a material which is subjected to various types of dynamic or cyclic time- dependent loadings.
  • the design and analysis for machine foundations come along with this course to consider the dynamic properties of both soil and foundation as combined mass. Behaviour of various geotechnical structures such as shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures due to various types of time-dependent dynamic loading are discussed here along with the reference to design code provisions.
  • Phenomena like liquefaction and lateral spreading of soil are also discussed.
  • Discusses about the laboratory and filed tests to compute the dynamic soil properties of the soil mass.

Course Outcomes
On successful completion of these course, the student able to

  • Use theory of vibrations to find the behavior of soil under dynamic loading.
  • Design machine foundations under different loads and soil conditions.
  • Understand the liquefaction phenomina.
  • Conduct various laboratory and filed tests to determine the dynamic soil prosperities and its interpretation.
  • Design vibration isolators under any vibratory machines.
