Small-Strain Shear Modulus of Cement-Admixed Kaolinite

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2011
An experimental study is conducted to measure small-strain shear modulus of clay-cement mixture using bender element apparatus setup in a triaxial cell. Bender element tests were conducted on cement-treated soils and the results were analyzed to study the variation of shear modulus properties of soil specimens at different cement contents, confining ...

The universal void ratio function for small strain shear modulus,

, 2010
Small strain shear modulus, Gmax, is a key parameter representing the small strain response of soils under seismic load. It is also an important parameter in design of foundations where only small deformation takes place.

Predicting the small strain shear modulus of coarse-grained soils

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2021
Abstract Coarse-grained soils are important geotechnical materials widely used in construction. The contribution of particle size distribution on the small strain shear modulus Gmax of coarse-grained soils has not yet been fully recognized. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effects of the uniformity coefficient Cu and the ...

Laboratory Measurement of Small-Strain Shear Modulus of Volcanic Soil

Geo-Congress 2014 Technical Papers, 2014
Volcanic soils can be found in many places around the world. In comparison to conventional soils, their mechanical behavior is less extensively studied in the laboratory. In this study, a series of laboratory tests has been carried out to investigate the small-strain shear modulus ( G 0 ) of a volcanic soil sampled from northeastern Japan, using the ...

Mechanisms of Small-Strain Shear-Modulus Anisotropy in Soils

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2008
In this paper, experimental studies using a true triaxial apparatus and a bender element system, and numerical simulations based on the discrete element method (DEM) were used to investigate the stress- and fabric-induced shear-stiffness anisotropy in soils at small strains. Verified by experiments and DEM simulations, the shear modulus was found to be

Small strain shear modulus of anisotropically loaded sands

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2019
Abstract This study aims to investigate the significant influence of stress anisotropy and different stress components on the small-strain shear modulus of sands using a comprehensive set of bender element tests on sand specimens undergoing anisotropic stress state along variable stress paths. Particular attention is given to the contribution of sand

Field Testing Method for Evaluating the Small-Strain Shear Modulus and Shear Modulus Nonlinearity of Solid Waste

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2015
Abstract Dynamic properties of solid waste are needed to reliably evaluate the seismic response of landfills. A testing method for investigating the dynamic properties of solid waste in situ has been implemented at various landfills. The field method is primarily aimed at evaluating shear wave and compression wave velocities at small ...
