Experimental Analysis of the Dynamic Response of Saturated Clayey Soil Under Impact Loading

The impact of loads on machine foundations is a typical cause vibrations in industrial applications. Typically, these will transfer vertical dynamic to the surface, which result earth that may structural damage nearby structures. Dynamic impacts can vary from significant failure sensitive sensors or systems evident damage. current work investigates behavior saturated clay soil under single impulsive load. Deflectometry via falling weights was conducted produce pulse energy by dropping different various elevations. reactions soils at places were investigated (vertical displacement topsoil surface). Such consist displacements, velocities, and accelerations caused occurring surface depth. maximum reaction stiff reduced 80% comparison with soft same average percentage change for 49% larger than soil, as kinetic an increased contact surface. Maximum displacements increasing operational frequency
