| description | Excessive vibrations can negatively impact machinery performance by causing misalignment, decreased accuracy, increased wear and tear, and reduced overall operational efficiency. By conducting a numerical investigation on improving vibration response through cement addition to salt-encrusted flat soil, the study aims to enhance the performance and reliability of machine foundations, thereby optimizing machinery operation. The properties of untreated sabkha and cement-sabkha were calibrated to use in the Finite Element Method (FEM) model. The variables investigated have the thickness of cemented sabkha ratio, operation frequency, three types of subsoils (Sabkha and cemented sabkha of 5% and 10%), and vertical amplitude loading. The main findings revealed that the maximum shear modulus (Gmax) increases by 47% with a 5% to 10% increase in cement content. In addition, as the vibration’s frequency increases, the amplitude displacement is observed because the reflected waves become smaller for the foundation resting on cemented sabkha. The natural frequency rises as the thickness ratio and cement amount of cemented sabkha increase. The influence of the thickness ratio on displacement amplitude is considerable when the operation frequency is less than 20 hz. The study implies that engineers can optimize the design of machine foundations to achieve better performance and stability. |
