Abstract
A review on dynamic properties of soil using cyclic triaxial test has been proposed in the present study. Several researchers have studied the dynamic properties of soil at large strain level using cyclic triaxial test and proposed either analytical solution or charts for shear modulus degradation curve and dam** curve of soil. The dynamic behaviors of soil depend on various factors such as soil type, loading condition, relative density, confining pressure, void ratio, over-consolidation ratio, etc., as reported by researchers. The dynamic properties, especially the shear modulus degradation curve, and dam** curve are important for designing of any geotechnical structures. In research purpose, it helps to simulate numerically to any geotechnical problems. A summarized review has been presented with their methodology and used parameters from the past literature. The locally available Solani river sand is collected from Roorkee region, tested in laboratory. The obtained test results from cyclic triaxial test have been validated with past literature.
