Module 1
Machine foundations: basic theory of vibrations-free and forced vibration of single degree of freedom with and without damping-two degrees of freedom with and without damping-dynamic soil properties-mass spring model and constants- elastic half space approach-determination of dynamic soil constants in laboratory and field based on IS code provisions. Modes of vibration of block foundation –natural frequency of foundation of soil system by Barkan’s approach-methods of analysis-Barkan’s method. Vertical translations, sliding, rocking, yawing (IS code method)

Module 4
Special Foundations: Foundation for special structures such as water tanks, silos, cooling towers, guyed structures, ground storage tanks, chimneys, telecommunication towers, transmission line towers-foundation for under ground conduits- foundation for coastal and offshore structures-pre-stressed foundations. Shell Foundations-structural form and efficiency-different types.
