Abstract
The selection of foundation dynamic characteristic parameters is one of the difficulties in the design of dynamic machinery foundations, and the pile foundations for dynamic machinery in soft soil areas have certain particularities. Taking the research on the vibration problem of a dryer foundation in Shanghai as an example, this paper discusses several key issues in the design of pile foundations for dynamic machinery in soft soil areas. Suggestions are put forward for the selection of key parameters, such as vertical compressive stiffness and shear stiffness of pile foundations, as well as for the design of such pile foundations in soft soil areas, which can provide reference for similar engineering designs and research.
