A Procedure for Determining Elastic Moduli of Soils by Field Vibratory Techniques

Abstract

This report presents a procedure by which rapid determination of the elastic characteristics of in-situ soil materials can be made. Using the proposed methods, the shear and compression velocities and Poisson's ratio can be determined, and from these the shear, G, and compression, E, moduli can be computed. These characteristics may then be used in the design and/or evaluation of foundations for structures.
