Cyclic Loading Test for the Small-Strain Shear Modulus of Saturated Soft Clay and Its Failure Mechanism

Geofluids, 2021
Small-strain shear modulus, Gmax, is a key evaluation index to study the dynamic characteristics of soil in geotechnical engineering. It is widely adopted to evaluate the stiffness of soft soil in soil dynamic engineering.

Enhancing the CPT correlation with the small strain shear stiffness of sands

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2017
The cone penetration test (CPT) is a valuable geotechnical insitu test. Yet, the CPT correlations with the small strain shear modulus and seismic shear wave velocity still need more research to enhance their accuracy.

Influence of time on the small strain shear modulus of an allophanic volcanic ash [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The small strain shear modulus is an important parameter in the assessment of soil dynamics problems. Studies on the small strain shear stiffness of volcanic ash remain rare probably because globally they cover just under 1% of the land surface. However,

Comparison of small-strain shear modulus and Young’s modulus of dry sand measured by resonant column and bender–extender element

, 2019
The small-strain shear modulus and Young’s modulus of dry sand are simultaneously measured by resonant column and bender–extender element tests. Two different methods are adopted to calibrate the resonant column and the results indicate that the ...

Small strain shear modulus of saturated and unsaturated cohesive soils under anisotropic consolidation

Soils and Foundations
Cohesive soils in nature are created under anisotropic stress and have various stress histories. Embankments generate greater vertical loads underground. Moreover, associated excavation activities can exacerbate the extensional stress state.

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

Applied 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.
