Resonant column (RC) and the torsional simple shear (TOSS) tests have shown proven
competency in acquiring precise and repeatable measurements regarding the shear …

The modulus degradation curves, G (γ)/G max, and the damping ratio, D (γ), of 27 clean
quartz sands with specially mixed grain size distribution curves were measured in …

The overall purpose of this research is to study the deformational characteristics of various
soils at small (10$\sp {-5} $% to 10$\sp {-3} $%) to intermediate (10$\sp {-3} $% to 10$\sp …

This paper presents a simple four-parameter model that can represent the shear modulus
factors and damping coefficients for a granular soil subjected to horizontal shear stresses …

A new device to measure the small strain shear modulus (Gmax) under a no lateral strain
condition has been developed. The techniques for measuring Gmax are discussed, with …

This paper presents a compilation of resonant-column and cyclic simple-shear test results
on dynamic moduli and damping factors of soft marine clays. These tests were conducted on …

Initial fabric of a soil induced by its cyclic strain history is an important parameter together
with the void ratio, state of stress and amplitude in respect to further accumulation of …

The results of laboratory experiments performed to investigate the effects that factors such as
fabric, anisotropic consolidation and stress-strain history have on the shear modulus at very …

The liquefaction potential of soils is usually assessed based on cyclic simple/triaxial/
torsional shear tests. These tests are generally associated with low frequency vibrations in a …

The damping ratio values of three different Danube sands were measured in the Resonant
Column-Torsional Simple Shear device (RC-TOSS). The distinctive configuration of the RC …
