Question: 5 . 3 A concrete foundation ( unit weight = 2 3 . 5 k N m 3 ) supporting a machine is 3 .

5.3 A concrete foundation (unit weight =23.5kNm3) supporting a machine is 3.5m2.5m in plan and is subjected to a sinusoidal vibrating foree (vertical) having an amplitude of 10kN(not frequency dependent). The operating frequency is 2000cpm. The weight of the machine and foundation is 400kN. The soil properties are unit weight =18kNm3, shear modulus =38,000kPa, and Poisson' ratio =0.25. Determine
a. the resonant frequency of the foundation, and
b. the amplitude of vertical vibration at operating frequency.
