Small-Strain Shear Modulus Behavior of Residual Soils in Tropical Regions under Pseudo-K0 Conditions

Abstract

Abstract While the dynamic properties of residual soils, i.e., small-strain shear modulus, G0, and damping ratio, have been fairly well studied worldwide, the response of these soils under zero-lateral strain, K0, conditions has been less extensively ... Practical Applications The findings of this study provide insights into predicting the small-strain shear modulus of residual soils in the tropical Andean region, which is characterized by high rainfall, steep topography, and high seismic activity. The ...
