shear wave velocity is a basic engineering tool required to define dynamic properties of soils. in many instances it may be preferable to determine vs indirectly by common in-situ tests, such as the standard penetration test. many empirical correlations based on the standard penetration test are broadly classified as regression techniques. however, no rigorous procedure has been published for c...

In the present work, static and dynamic shear strength of concrete is investigated by means Punch-Through Shear (PTS) tests. This experimental method consists in applying an axial load to central part specimen which generates stresses ligament sample. Prior shearing stage, sample subjected a lateral confinement pressure that applied pre-stressing metallic cell then inserting in-between jaws so ...

shear modulus and damping ratio are important input parameters in dynamic analysis. a series of resonant column tests was carried out on pure clays and sand-clay mixtures prepared at different densities to investigate the effects of aggregate content, confining stress, void ratio and clay plasticity on the maximum shear modulus and minimum damping ratio. test results revealed an increase in the...
