1 Modulus and Damping Curves of Ottawa sand from Centrifuge and Full Scale Tests Inthuorn Sasanakul Prompat Kasantikul

2 Resonant Column (RC) and Torsional Shear (TS) Tests Stokoe-Type Apparatus Fixed-free Configuration Drive System Utilizing Coil-Magnet System

3 Resonant Column Test Shear modulus (G) or Shear Wave Velocity (Vs) Damping (D) Half Power Bandwidth MethodFree Vibration Decay Method

4 Torsional Shear test

5 Generic Modulus and Damping Curves for fine grain soil (Vucetic and Dobry, 1991)

6 RC/TS Calibrations for RPI Apparatus Polar Moment of Inertia of the Drive Plate Calibration Equipment Damping Calibration Torque Calibration RC/TS testing on generic sands such as Nevada sand

7 Results of RC test on dry Nevada sand Variation of shear Wave Velocity with confining Pressure and void ratio in dry clean sand with rounded particle (Hardin and Richart,1963) Vs=(170-78.2e)σ 0 0.25
