New Approach to Resonant Column Testing
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2013Abstract This paper describes a new type of torsional resonant column device that has a quasi-fixed base and free top. In this device, a relatively rigid torque transducer is placed between the bottom platen and the fixed chamber base. A large capacity torque motor excites the top platen.

Resonant Column Testing of Frozen Ottawa Sand
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1987Abstract The unique properties of frozen soils have posed special problems for engineers seeking to install stable structures in cold climates. Foundations, pipelines, and other structures subjected to high-frequency low-amplitude vibrations present special problems to the designer even when construction occurs in nonfrozen ground.

Resonant Column Tests on Partially Saturated Sands
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1991Abstract This paper describes the measurement of the influence of capillary effects on the dynamic shear modulus of partially saturated sands. A Hall-type resonant column apparatus was used to perform the experiments. The materials tested included natural angular and subrounded sands, angular and subrounded sands with specified ...

Torsional and flexural resonant column testing of grouted sands
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2020Abstract Torsional and flexural resonant column tests were conducted on sands grouted with a fine cement and the effects of confining pressure, strain, grout water-to-cement ratio (W/C) and sand grain size and shape were evaluated. Both types of excitation were applied on a single grouted sand specimen without causing specimen failure.

Resonant Column Testing Procedure for Microbial-Induced Carbonate-Precipitated Sands
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2023ABSTRACT One of the fundamental inputs to site response analysis is the characterization of the dynamic properties of the soil, namely the shear modulus and material damping ratio. Because of soil’s nonlinear behavior, these properties change with induced shear strains, and modulus reduction and damping (MRD) curves have been proposed to

Resonant Column Testing: The Inherent Counter EMF Effect
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2003Abstract The standard magnet-coil driving system in resonant column devices provides the required cyclic excitation; however, it inherently produces a counter electromotive force that opposes the motion. In this study, the resonant column is modeled as an electro-mechanical system to quantitatively examine the counter electromotive ...

Shear Moduli of Metal Specimens Using Resonant Column Tests
Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2019Abstract The shear moduli of cylindrical metal specimens were determined by performing resonant column tests in a torsional mode of vibration. The tests were performed on four different metals, namely (i) aluminum, (ii) brass, (iii) copper, and (iv) mild steel.

Applications of the New Approach to Resonant Column Testing
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2015Abstract For more than 50 years, the resonant column test has been used to measure the shear modulus and damping of soils for shear strains ranging from 10−5 % to 0.5 %. For most soils, the test is non-destructive, and tests may be performed on the same specimen at multiple confining stresses simulating in situ conditions from near ...

Resonant Column Tests and Nonlinear Elasticity in Simulated Rocks
Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2017Rocks are generally regarded as linearly elastic even though the manifestations of nonlinearity are prominent. The variations of elastic constants with varying strain levels and stress conditions, disagreement between static and dynamic moduli, etc., are some of the examples of nonlinear elasticity in rocks.

Characterization of Warm Mix Asphalt through Resonant Column Testing
Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2015As the usage of warm mix asphalt (WMA) has gained popularity in recent years, the need has arisen for more characterization techniques and performance prediction through accelerated laboratory testing. This paper presents an experimental study on the shear modulus and damping ratio of asphalt specimens prepared using three WMA technologies: Evotherm ...
