Shear Modulus of Soils under Cyclic Loading at Small and Medium Strain Level
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the stiffness of soils under cyclic loading at small and medium strain level. The influence of some important factors on the shear modulus of soils such as: the strain level, the plasticity index and the mean effective stress are discussed in detail. Behaviour of different kind of soils is also compared based on available laboratory data includin...
متن کاملInterpreting measurements of small strain elastic shear modulus under unsaturated conditions
Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell and involved combinations of isotropic loading and unloading stages and wetting and drying stages. Analysis of the experimental results indica...
متن کاملA mathematical model for optimization of strength of concrete: A case study for shear modulus of Rice Husk Ash Concrete
Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is natural Pozzolan containing reactive silica and/or aluminum. When the material is mixed with lime in powdered form and in the presence of water, it will set and harden like cement. This work uses Osadebe’s optimization model to optimize the shear modulus of concrete made from RHA. The strengths predicted by the model are in good agreement with their corresponding experime...
متن کاملEect of the shape of the soil hydraulic functions near saturation on variably-saturated ̄ow predictions
Relatively small changes in the shape of the soil water retention curve near saturation can signi®cantly aect the results of numerical simulations of variably saturated ̄ow, including the performance of the numerical scheme itself in terms of stability and rate of convergence. In this paper, we use a modi®ed form of the van Genuchten±Mualem (VGM) soil hydraulic functions to account for a very ...
متن کاملPredictive Model for Normalized Shear Modulus of Cohesive Soils
called maximum shear modulus, Gmax. It can be determined by in-situ methods from the measurements of the shear wave velocity, Vs, by means of crosshole, down-hole, up-hole, or surface wave testing. The relationship between maximum shear modulus and shear wave velocity is rigorous: 2 max s G V where ρ is soil density. This parameter can be also obtained in laboratory by resonant column or ...
