Laboratory Measurement of Small-Strain Shear Modulus of Volcanic Soil
Geo-Congress 2014 Technical Papers, 2014Volcanic 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, 2008In 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

Effect of average straining rate on shear modulus at small cyclic strains
2003Six different soils were tested in an NGI-type direct cyclic simple shear device to examine the effect of the average strain rate, , on the cyclic secant shear modulus, Gs, at small cyclic shear strain amplitudes, c 0.001 - 0.01 %. The effect of on Gs is characterized by the strain-rate shear modulus parameter, G, and the ...

Small‐Strain‐Shear Modulus of Soil by Dilatometer
Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1990A procedure is presented for estimating the small strain shear modulus \IG\N\dm\da\dx of soils based on flat dilatometer (DMT) test results. Previously published data from nine test sites at which both DMT and seismic tests were performed are used to develop a model.
