Abstract: As a result of the machine's moving parts, the machine foundations are constantly subjected to dynamic loads. Because of the repetitive nature of dynamic load leads to increase in foundation soil settlement. The excessive soil settlement can be reduced by lowering the cyclic stresses caused by machine vibrations. The increasing the stiffness of the soil is one method of dealing with cyclic stresses. Soil reinforcement with geosynthetics is one of several techniques for increasing the stiffness of the soil. This review paper discusses the dynamic response of a machine foundation resting on reinforced soil bed. To reduce peak vertical displacement and resonant frequency by using soil reinforcement with geosynthetic material.
