Shear Modulus and Damping in Soils: Design Equations and Curves
Publication: Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division
Volume 98, Issue 7
Abstract
Equations and graphs for the determination of shear modulus and damping of soils, for use in design problems involving repeated loading or vibration of soils, are presented. These equations and graphs are based on numerous laboratory tests on both remolded and undisturbed cohesive soils and on clean sands. Comparison of the measured and computed values shows good agreement. An example problem showing how these equations and curves are used is given.
