Determination of Maximum Shear Modulus and Constraint Modulus in Unsaturated Sandy Soil under Hydraulic Hysteresis in Different Degree of Saturations, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jafarzadeh, Fardin (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the most important parameters in dynamic analysis is small-strain shear modulus of soils (Gmax). Additionally, due to the seasonal variations and traffic loading, determination of constraint modulus (M) of subragde soils is of great importance. Seasonal Variations such as evaporation, evapotranspiration and precipitation causes subgrade soils to be on unsaturated state. Therefore, there is an extending need to study the influence of matric suction and degree of saturation on maximum shear modulus and constraint modulus in the design and analysis of earthen structures.In this study, we employed a dynamic simple shear apparatus in order to fully understand variations of Gmax and M with...
