Analysis And Behavior Of A Rigid Foundation Massif Under The Effect Of Vibrations (Application Of Barakan Method), Iddir Rabah, Laradi Nadir
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
This communication proposes a count mode of a rigid foundation massif frequencies, relaxing on a homogeneous soil, semi-infinite having an elastic linear behavior. Several data programs process using the finite elements method, are proposed for the dynamic analysis. Nevertheless, these programs don’t appear the physical phenomenon yielded, they depend on data introduced by the user and are applicable only for the elastic foundation massifs. The BARKAN method is an analytic one that appears the physical behavior of the different displacements and their coupling modes, the involvement of soil by its different dynamic stiffness modules, as well as a constant verification …

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The largest compressor train in North America was installed for a new ethylene production plant at the Nova Chemicals Facility located near Joffre, Alberta. To illustrate the effect of soil-pile-structure interaction, the dynamic behavior of the structure using flexible piled foundation is compared to the same structure fixed to a rigid base in this paper. Both field and laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the soil properties including down hole seismic tests to provide soil shear wave velocities at different depths. Different design options are considered and an optimum design selected to limit vibration and produce a safe, economic …
