Abstract A numerical model of the shape optimization of a rectangular machine foundation embedded in soil when subjected to external dynamic forces and moments is presented. A sequential programming method with move limits is used to obtain the minimum weight (mass) of the block. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the application of the model which takes 3-D dynamic soil-foundation interaction into account.
