Void ratio function for elastic shear moduli for Boom Clay Available to Purchase

The initial shear modulus, G₀, is widely considered to be a fundamental soil stiffness property, and is a parameter for practical geotechnical problems, both in earthquake engineering and in the prediction of soil–structure interaction. The shear modulus can be measured in triaxial testing with the bender element technique. This paper presents a possibility for evaluating the initial shear moduli G_0(ij) of Boom clay material at very small strains by measuring G_vh, G_hh and G_hv on the same sample at any stress state with independent control of the vertical and horizontal stresses....
