Abstract

The influence exerted by anisotropy of the deformation properties of soil foundation beds on the elastic characteristics used in dynamic analyses of machine-bearing foundations is investigated. A model of an anisotropic foundation bed in the form of a transversally isotropic elastic half space is used to estimate the extent of this influence. It is suggested that correction factors dependent on the degree of anisotropy of the soil be used in the analyses.
