Download or read book Effect of Loading Frequency on Dynamic Properties of Soils Using Resonant Column written by Soheil Moayerian and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic properties of soils (shear stiffness and damping ratio) are critical for the design of structures subjected to vibrations. The dynamic properties of a benchmark standardized laboratory sand (Ottawa silica sand) were evaluated with two different resonant column devices, utilising software with different analytical approaches for the evaluation of soil properties. The dynamic properties (shear modulus and damping ratio) are evaluated as a function of the shear strain level. The results are compared to evaluate the effect of the type of equipment and the form of the data analysis on the measured dynamic properties of the samples. The results are discussed in light of the applicability of the procedures in practice, the ease of the testing methods, and the errors they introduced into analysis and design. In general, the shear wave velocities obtained from the two different devices are in good agreement. However, the damping ratios they give show considerable differences as strains increase. Dynamic properties are typically measured by curve fitting of the transfer function between the excitation and the response using the resonant column device. However, the force function generated by sinusoidal sweep or random noise excitations induce different shear strain levels at different frequencies. Consequently, the shape of the measured transfer function is distorted and differs from the theoretical transfer function for an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system. The difference between the measured and theoretical transfer functions as well as the bias in the computed dynamic properties becomes more pronounced with the increase in shear strain. This study presents a new methodology for the evaluation of dynamic properties from an equivalent constant-strain transfer function. The soil specimen is excited simultaneously using a sinusoidal excitation (carrier signal) at the required strain level and a small amplitude, narrow band random noise. The strain level induced by the fixed sine is shown to control the resonant frequency of the specimen; whereas the random noise introduces the required frequency bandwidth to determine the transfer function and hence the dynamic properties at a constant strain level. The new methodology also shows a good potential for the evaluation of frequency effects on the dynamic properties of soils in resonant column testing.

Download or read book Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering written by Jay Ameratunga and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations, it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus limiting our reliance on these soil tests. The authors have decades of experience in geotechnical engineering, as professional engineers or researchers. The objective of this book is to present a critical evaluation of a wide range of empirical correlations reported in the literature, along with typical values of soil parameters, in the light of their experience and knowledge. This book will be a one-stop-shop for the practising professionals, geotechnical researchers and academics looking for specific correlations for estimating certain geotechnical parameters. The empirical correlations in the forms of equations and charts and typical values are collated from extensive literature review, and from the authors' database.

Download or read book Innovative Earthquake Soil Dynamics written by Takaji Kokusho and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovative Earthquake Soil Dynamics deals with soil dynamics in earthquake engineering and includes almost all aspects of soil behavior. Both generally accepted basic knowledge as well as advanced and innovative views are accommodated. Major topics are (i) seismic site amplification, (ii) liquefaction and (iii) earthquake-induced slope failure. Associated with the above, basic theories and knowledge on wave propagation/attenuation, soil properties, laboratory tests, numerical analyses, and model tests are addressed in the first part of the book. A great number of earthquake observations in surface soil deposits as well as case histories with new findings are addressed in the later chapters, together with associated laboratory test data. Most of the research results originate from Japan, which is rich in earthquake records and case histories, although mostly isolated from the outside world because of the language barrier. Another important feature characterizing this book is an energy perspective in addition to the force-equilibrium perspective, because it is the author’s strong belief that energy is a very relevant index in determining seismic failures, particularly of soils and soil structures. Innovative Earthquake Soil Dynamics is written for international readers, graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers, interested in this field.
