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

Piezoelectric Ring Bender for Characterization of Shear Waves in Compacted Sandy Soils
Shear wave velocity and small-strain shear modulus are widely used as the mechanical properties of soil. The objective of this study is to develop a new shear wave monitoring system using a pair of piezoelectric ring benders (RBs) and to evaluate the ...

Dynamic shear characteristics of Zhoushan clay under small-to-medium strain levels
Foundation soils of offshore-island transportation infrastructures are continuously subjected to various dynamic loads. The dynamic shear characteristics of the foundation soil under the small-to-medium strain range are important to the evaluation of the

Preliminary findings on the experimental investigation of the small-strain behaviour of Pizzoli silty sand [PDF]
The dynamic properties of soils play a crucial role in solving many geotechnical problems with special attention to earthquake engineering. In particular, the small-strain soil behavior should be accurately reproduced in geotechnical modelling to allow ...

The universal void ratio function for small strain shear modulus [PDF]
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.
