Small Strain and Dynamic/Cyclic Characterization by Static DSS Test

一个简单的测试程序，分析小应变和动力/循环大应变的土的行为将被开发。该程序将包括一个稍微修改的静态直接简单剪切试验。与目前采用共振柱装置进行小应变试验和采用三轴、单剪、扭剪或类似装置单独进行大应变循环试验的做法相比，新方法将为整个应变范围内土体的动力/循环特性提供一种更方便和经济的选择。//

A simple testing procedure for the analysis of small strain and dynamic/cyclic large strain behavior of soils will be developed. The procedure will consist of a single slightly modified static direct simple shear test. In comparison with the current practice of small strain testing by resonant column device and separate large strain cyclic testing by triaxial, simple shear, torsional shear or similar device, the new method will represent a more convenient and economical alternative for the dynamic/cyclic characterization of soils over the entire range of strains.//
