Recent research shows that G0 applies to both static and dynamic properties, as well as to both undrained and drained loading conditions in geotechnical situations. Since the traditional penetration readings from the cone correspond to failure states, an entire ...

Laboratory and field measurements of the small-strain shear modulus of a Piedmont residual soil were compared to gain a better understanding of mechanisms affecting stiffness. Resonant column tests were performed to study influences of void ratio, overconsolidation ...
