Determining Shrinkage Cracks Based on the Small-Strain Shear Modulus–Suction Relationship
This research aims to propose the use of spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW) tests along with in-situ suction measurements for non-destructive determination of shrinkage cracks.

The prediction and back analysis of excavation behaviour in Oxford Clay. [PDF]
The work described in this thesis involved the prediction and back-analysis of ground movements and pore water pressures around a temporary excavation, lOm deep, 105m long and 35m wide (50m long and lOm wide at its base) in the heavily overconsolidated

Very-small to large strain dynamic behaviour of unsaturated sand in a wide range of suction [PDF]
Shear modulus (Gmax at very small strain and G at large strain) and constraint modulus at very small strain (M) are important soil parameters for static and dynamic analysis in geotechnical applications.

In situ shear wave velocity from multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) tests at eight Norwegian research sites [PDF]
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community.

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