...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...

... load-strain response data necessary to determine in-plane linear elastic tensile properties of geosynthetics. These properties consist of two elastic moduli, two dependent in-plane Poisson's ratios and an in-plane shear modulus. The elastic moduli and Poisson's ratios are derived from non-bias biaxial...

...-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...

... of such mixtures is important for geotechnical applications. The aim of the study is to evaluate the shear modulus and material damping of sand-EPS bead mixtures over a wide range of strains to provide a basis for evaluation of using such mixtures as seismic buffers behind earth retaining structures and for base...

... on the prevailed micro-mechanisms of the samples. The macro-mechanical response of the numerical mixtures showed a decrease in the elastic shear modulus and the deviatoric stress as the soft particle content increased, in line with observations from laboratory tests. Micro-scale information including coordination...

... were tested in a dry state, a moist state with a very small water content inclusion and a fully saturated state. The data indicated that for a given p′, the increase of rubber content shifted the obtained resonant frequencies to lower values, the small-strain shear modulus...
