...S. Peddaiah; J. Kumar This study examines the inclusions of jute geotextile ( JG ) sheets on shear modulus ( G ) and damping ratio ( D ) of dry sand. Resonant column ( RC ) and bender element ( BE ) tests were conducted on sand specimens reinforced with varying numbers of JG sheets under...

... soils Dynamics Damping ratio In recent years, the demand for rubber tyres has increased with the rapid development of industry and transportation. With the development of production, the recycling of waste rubber tyres has become a global problem. It is estimated that 3 billion tyres...

... little to no effect on the shear stiffness; however, the damping ratio decreased with the number of cycles for both the geomembranes. Similar observations were also made by Cen et al. (2018, 2019 2020a, 2020b) while investigating the interface shear behavior and deformation mechanism of HDPE...

... in the number of cycles, sand relative density, EPS geofoam density and the applied normal stress, the equivalent or secant stiffness of the sand-EPS geofoam interface increases while its damping ratio declines. The results of the monotonic (MDS) and post-cyclic monotonic (CMDS) shearing experiments also show...

...-g shaking table tests is conducted to assess the dynamic properties of the sand-EPS beads mixtures with a particular focus on the stress-strain response and the variation of shear modulus and damping ratio at the range of medium to large levels of strain. The influence of various parameters...

.... The effect of various parameters such as shear strain amplitude, confining pressure (25 kPa, 50 kPa and 100 kPa) and EPS weight content (up to 2% by weight) on the small strain shear modulus, secant shear modulus and damping ratio is investigated. Laboratory results indicated that the values of shear...
