Effects of Maximum Shear Modulus on Soil Dynamic Properties and Seismic Response of Soil Layer


Abstract eng:
Maximum shear modulus is one of the most important parameters effecting shear modulus ratio, damping ratio and seismic response of soil. Usually, maximum shear modulus is determined by strain method in laboratory, rather than by shear velocity method in-situ, and based on it, shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of soil can be provided. The effect of maximum shear modulus by shear velocity method and shear strain method on shear modulus ratio, damping ratio and seismic response of soil are studied. And, the relationship of shear modulus ratio and damping ratio for two methods is established. The results shows that the effects of maximum shear modulus on shear modulus ratio, damping ratio and seismic response of soil are obvious and should not be neglected.
