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.

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
