Title: SMALL- AND HIGH-STRAIN MEASUREMENTS OF IN SITU SOIL PROPERTIES USING THE SEISMIC CONE PENETROMETER
Accession Number: 00731166
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Seismic cone penetration tests provide an economical and expedient means of assessing small-strain properties (low-amplitude shear modulus, G sub MAX) and large-strain behavior (shear strength, tau sub MAX) of soil deposits from a single sounding. That measurements are taken at complete opposite ends of the strain spectrum permits development of the entire stress-strain-strength representation of soil layers with depth. A modified hyperbola is shown to be appropriate in a modulus degradation scheme for application to static monotonic loading of soils. Also, a global correlation of mass density (rho) with shear wave velocity (V sub s) for all types of geomaterials is presented, which facilitates the calculation of G sub MAX = rho (V sub s squared).
