...Anthony S. O'Brien, MSc, DIC, FREng, FICE; Xinjin Ho, MEng; Ringo Tan, MEng, PhD Limit state design codes such as Eurocode 7 require good estimates of displacement to be made for serviceability checks. It is known that the stiffness of overconsolidated soils and weak rocks is highly non-linear...

...M C MATTHEWS; V S HOPE; C R I CLAYTON; RAYLEIGH GROUND STIFFNESS PROFILES material is brought to failure. Weak rocks display a more linear stress-strain behaviour and hence the loss of stiffness with increasing strain is much less than for most soils. 3. Themeasurement of stiffness using seismic...
