The present study investigates the experimental exploration of the dynamic response of combined block foundations characterized by an aspect ratio (L/B) of 2.5, emphasizing a nuanced investigation of the interplay between static weight and dynamic force ratios. Employing advanced experimental techniques and instrumentation, the study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics governing the structural behavior of these foundations when subjected to varying loading conditions. The experimental campaign incorporates a systematic variation of static weight ratios (W1/W2 = 6) probing the influence of diverse foundation masses on the overall response. Complementing this, dynamic force ratios (F1/F2 = 3, 4, and 5) are meticulously adjusted to comprehensively evaluate the foundation's performance under dynamic loading scenarios. The resulting dataset provides a rich source of information regarding dynamic characteristics, natural frequencies, and damping ratios. It can be concluded that vertical and torsional vibration modes are uncoupled under higher dynamic forces, while lateral and longitudinal modes (X- and Y-axes) are coupled with rotational modes (Y- and X-axes). It is also observed that maintaining the dynamic force ratio in machines reduces vibration amplitudes. Smaller dynamic force ratios increase translational vibration amplitudes but can reduce amplitudes from induced moments. The key findings from the study illuminate the intricate relationships between static and dynamic parameters, offering valuable insights into the resilience and stability of the combined block foundation. The comparative analysis of different dynamic force ratios contributes to a deeper understanding of their synergistic effects on the foundation's response.

摘要

The present study investigates the experimental exploration of the dynamic response of combined block foundations characterized by an aspect ratio (L/B) of 2.5, emphasizing a nuanced investigation of the interplay between static weight and dynamic force ratios. Employing advanced experimental techniques and instrumentation, the study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics governing the structural behavior of these foundations when subjected to varying loading conditions. The experimental campaign incorporates a systematic variation of static weight ratios (W1/W2 = 6) probing the influence of diverse foundation masses on the overall response. Complementing this, dynamic force ratios (F1/F2 = 3, 4, and 5) are meticulously adjusted to comprehensively evaluate the foundation's performance under dynamic loading scenarios. The resulting dataset provides a rich source of information regarding dynamic characteristics, natural frequencies, and damping ratios. It can be concluded that vertical and torsional vibration modes are uncoupled under higher dynamic forces, while lateral and longitudinal modes (X- and Y-axes) are coupled with rotational modes (Y- and X-axes). It is also observed that maintaining the dynamic force ratio in machines reduces vibration amplitudes. Smaller dynamic force ratios increase translational vibration amplitudes but can reduce amplitudes from induced moments. The key findings from the study illuminate the intricate relationships between static and dynamic parameters, offering valuable insights into the resilience and stability of the combined block foundation. The comparative analysis of different dynamic force ratios contributes to a deeper understanding of their synergistic effects on the foundation's response.
