Course Name: CE5320 : Soil Dynamics

Description: Fundamentals of vibration Response of SDOF systems: Free vibration, Experimental determination of natural frequency and damping, Response of system to exciting forces and ground motions ranging from simple pulse like excitation to harmonic and complex histories, Transmissibility, Vibration measuring instruments, Response of 2 DOF and Multi degree of freedom systems. Propagation of seismic waves in soil deposits Attenuation of stress waves, Stressstrain behaviour of cyclically loaded soils, Strength of cyclically loaded soils, Dynamic soil properties Laboratory and field testing techniques, Selection of design values. Dynamic stiffness of foundation Circular rigid mat foundation on elastic half space excited vertically, laterally, torsion or rocking, Effective stiffness and damping of such systems, Modelling of soil medium by frequency dependent and frequency independent elements, Effect of soil material damping and shape, Effect of foundation embedment, Finite soil layer and depth to bedrock on system of rigi
