Small-Strain Shear Modulus and Strength Increase of Cement-Treated Clay [PDF]

open access: yesGeotechnical Testing Journal, 2010
Abstract A simple nondestructive technique was used as an alternative method to monitor the hardening of cement-treated clay as a function of time. The principle of this monitoring technique is based on the use of bender elements to measure the small-strain shear modulus (G0) at various time intervals. The strength increase was monitored

Mechanical Properties and Engineering Applications of Special Soils—Dynamic Shear Modulus and Damping of MICP-Treated Calcareous Sand at Low Strains

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Calcareous sand deposits are widespread along the shoreline in tropical and subtropical regions. Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) treatment is a new method for improving the soil’s stiffness and strength.

Small-strain triaxial tests and constitutive modeling of Shanghai soft clays

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
In order to reduces the influence of the existing buildings in the surrounding area, the surrounding soil of the new project usually requires the control of the small strain state (0.001%~0.1%).

Comparison and application of small strain shear moduli from field and laboratory measurements

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
The small-strain shear modulus plays an important role in the calculations of ground seismic response and deformation in deep excavations. The values of the small strain shear modulus G0 of Shanghai soils by field and laboratory tests are investigated ...

Small-strain shear modulus of calcareous sand under anisotropic consolidation [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Geotechnical Journal, 2022
In this study, the small-strain shear modulus of a calcareous sand was investigated by conducting bender element tests on both horizontal and vertical planes. The effects of sample preparation method, stress path and stress history on the developing of void ratio, the parameters in the modified Hardin Equation, and the stiffness anisotropy were ...

Comparative investigation on dynamic shear modulus and damping ratio of marine soils in different seas

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
To understand the variation characteristics of dynamic shear modulus G and damping ratio with the increasing depth H of marine soils, a series of resonant column tests are performed on silty clay with various depths taken from the three borehole ...

Effect of Mean Grain Size on the Small-Strain Dynamic Properties of Calcareous Sand

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Calcareous sand was selected as the prior material for island reclamation in many coastal regions. The mechanical properties of the granular materials are greatly affected by their grain size distribution conditions.
