Abstract:
By means of the resonant column test, the shear modulus G and damping ratio λ under the influence of dynamic load for silty clay in Fuzhou downtown area were first attained. Then the effects of strain value γ and consolidation stress on the testing result were explored in details. Combined with theoretical analyses, the fitting curve and parameter with the change of γ for G/Gmax and λ of silty clay in Fuzhou downtown area were presented. And by comparing the recommended value and the code value, results showed that: (1) In Relation G/Gmax-γ, G/Gmax given by code value was the lowest while it was the highest by test value. The values given by test value, code value and recommended value were relatively approximate during large and small strains, whereas the three values were quite different during moderate strain. For instance, when shear strain γ is 10-4, the difference between test value and recommended value is about 5%, while the difference between test value and code value is about 20%; (2) In Relation λ-γ, the test value was the highest whereas code value and recommended value were approximate. When shear strain γ is 10-4, the difference of damping ratio among the three values was about 50%, which means the damping discreteness of clay soil is relatively large. The test findings could be used as certain reference for practical projects in the local area and in the Southeast coastal area with similar geological environment.
