Abstract
The shear strength of dry, cohesionless soils is reduced during vibration (1,4,6,8,15). If the vibration is sufficiently intense, the material is densified as well (1,2,7,8,11,13,14,15). This behavior may be of considerable importance where vibrational conditions exist. However, the usefulness of the information presently available on this subject is limited.
