Advanced Soil Dynamics Lab

For soil samples in the small to medium strain range (< 1%), the shear modulus (G) and damping ratio (D) are estimated using the resonant column apparatus.

Pressure range: 1, 2 MPa

Sample sizes: 50, 70, and 100 mm

Optional extras that can be performed: 

Vertical Bender Elements

Torsional Shear

Unsaturated Testing
