Small strain stiffness of graded sands with light biocementation Ghent University
Particle size gradation is an important parameter for small strain stiffness of sand, and it can also affect the biocementation behavior. In this study, a series of isotropic consolidation tests were performed to study the gradation-dependent small strain shear modulus of a glass sand with light biocementation. Shear wave velocities in multi-directions were measured with bender elements. The test results showed that the small strain shear ...
