Effects of oversized particles on the dynamic properties of sand specimens evaluated by resonant column testing
… > 0.001%) ranges of shear strain with combined resonant column and torsional shear (RCTS) equipment. The sand used in this investigation is a uniform sand as a reference, well-characterized material on the dynamic properties. Sand-gravel specimens were constructed using the undercompaction …

Methane Gas Hydrate Morphology and its Effect on the Stiffness and Damping of some Sediments
… were formed and tested in the gas<br/>hydrate resonant column (GHRC). Results from these tests were compared with previous results from<br/>tests where methane hydrate had been formed from free gas in partially saturated conditions. It was<br/>found that formation method had a significant …

Impact of Hydrate Dissociation on the Stiffness and Strength of Hydrate Bearing Sands
… hydrate formation and subsequent dissociation, resonant column tests were conducted to evaluate the changes in small strain stiffness and damping ratio that occurred. Triaxial shear compression tests were then conducted on each specimen, once a known volume of hydrate had been dissociated, to …

IMPROVEMENT OF DYNAMIC PROPERTIES AND SEISMIC RESPONSE OF CLAY USING FIBER REINFORCEMENT
… Experimental testing was performed using the Resonant Column Method to obtain both the shear modulus and the material damping for a clay and the fiber-clay composite to determine the effect of fiber inclusion on the dynamic properties of clayey soil. The research showed that the inclusion of …

Effects of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement on Mechanical Properties of Base Materials
… test was used to measure strength, the free-free resonant column test was used to measure stiffness, and the tube suction test (TST) was used to measure moisture susceptibility. Once all the testing was completed, a fixed effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on each of the test …

Influence of some particle characteristics on the small strain response of granular materials
… B and 0.1 mm mica, are tested using a fixed-free resonant column apparatus (RCA).<br/>The test results suggest that particle shape significantly influences the small strain response of geomaterials. Both particle form and particle roundness have correlations with the values of Gmax normalised by a …

Assessment of shear modulus for granular soils, with small- to large-strain moduli correlations
Une estimation correcte du module de cisaillement (G) des sols constitue une partie fondamentale de l’analyse de la réponse dynamique des sols, des interactions sismiques sol- structure, et du potentiel de liquéfaction du sol. Le module de cisaillement à petites déformations (Go) peut être …
