Bay, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 1757–1762 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Shear  modulus  Damping  Shear  strain  Resonance  Hysteresis  Soil  dynamics  Dynamic  properties  Soil  tests Résumé : Determination of strain in resonant column and torsional shear (RC/TS) tests is complicated due to nonuniform stress–strain variation occurring linearly with the radius in a soil specimen in torsion. The equivalent radius approach is adequate when calculating strain at low to intermediate levels, however, the approach is less accurate when performing the tests at higher strains. The stress integration approach involving integration of an assumed soil stress–strain model was developed to account for this problem more precisely. This approach was used to generate the plots of equivalent radius ratio versus strain developed based upon shear modulus and damping. Results showed that the equivalent radius ratio curves converge to a value of approximately 0.8 at low strains and decrease as strain increases. The equivalent radius ratio curves based upon damping decrease to significantly lower values at high strain than curves based upon shear modulus. This study suggests that using the same values of equivalent radius ratio to calculate strains for both shear modulus and damping is not appropriate. The stress integration approach provides an accurate analysis technique for evaluating both modulus and damping behavior of soil, over any range of strains in RC/TS testing.
