Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the determination of shearmodulus, shear damping, rod modulus (commonly referred toas Youngs modulus)

The vibration of thespecimen may be superposed on a controlled ambient state ofstress in the specimen. The vibration apparatus and specimenmay be enclosed in a t

In addition, the specimenmay be subjected to other controlled conditions (for example,pore-water pressure, degree of saturation, temperature). Thesetest methods of modulus and damping determination areconsidered nondestructive wh

24、ess-strainrelation for a steady-state vibration in the resonant column is ahysteresis loop. These moduli will correspond to the slope of aline through the end points of the hysteresis loop. The sectionon calculations provides for computation of rod and shearmoduli from the measured system longitudin

Damping will be describedby the rod damping ratio, DL, and the shear damping ratio, DT,which are analogous to the critical viscous damping ratio, c/cr,for a single-degree-of-freedom syst

Methods for determining damp-ing ratio are prescribed later. In viscoelastic theory, it iscommon to use complex moduli to

29、 Fig. 1. A sinusoidal vibrationexcitation device is attached to the active-end platen. The otherend is the passive-end platen. It may be rigidly fixed (thecriterion for establishing fixity is given later) or its mass androtational inertia must be known. The vibration excitationdevice may incorporate

30、 springs and dashpots connected to theactive-end platen, where the spring constants and viscousdamping coefficients are known. Vibration excitation may belongitudinal or torsional. A given apparatus may have thecapability of applying one or the other, or both. The mass androtational inertia of the a

31、ctive-end platen and portions of thevibration excitation device moving with it must be known.Transducers are used to measure the vibration amplitudes foreach type of motion at the active end and also at the passiveend if it is not rigidly fixed. The frequency of excitation will beadjusted to produce

32、 resonance of the system, composed of thespecimen and its attached platens and vibration excitationdevice.3.2.5 specimen strainfor longitudinal motion, the strain,e, is the average axial strain in the entire specimen. Fortorsional motion, the strain, g, is the average shear strain in thespecimen. In

33、 the case of torsion, shear strain in each crosssection varies from zero along the axis of rotation to aFIG. 1 Resonant-column SchematicD4015072maximum at the perimeter of the specimen, and the averageshear strain for each cross section occurs at a radius equal to 80percent the radius of the specime

34、n. Methods for calculatingspecimen strain are given later in the calculations section.3.2.6 system resonant frequencythe definition of systemresonance depends on both apparatus and specimen character-istics. For the case where the passive-end platen is fixed,motion at the active end is used to estab

35、lish resonance, whichis defined as the lowest frequency for which the sinusoidalexcitation force (or moment) is in phase with the velocity of theactive-end platen. For the case where the passive-end platenmass (or passive end platen rotational inertia) is greater than100 times the corresponding valu

36、e of the specimen and is notrigidly fixed, resonance is the lowest frequency for which thesinusoidal excitation force (or moment) is 180 out of phasewith the velocity of the active-end platen. Otherwise, motion atthe passive end is used to establish resonance, which is thesecond lowest frequency for

37、 which the sinusoidal excitationforce (or moment) is in phase with the velocity of thepassive-end platen. (The lowest frequency for this condition isnot used because it does not produce significant strains in thespecimen.) In general, the system resonant frequency fortorsional excitation will be dif

38、ferent from the system resonantfrequency for longitudinal excitation.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In the resonant column test, a cylindrical soil specimenis subjected to an imposed ambient stress condition. Onceequilibrium at the imposed stress condition is achieved, tor-sional or longitudinal, or b

39、oth, sinusoidal vibrations are appliedto the soil specimen and the specimen motions (strains)resulting from the imposed vibrations are measured. Thefrequency of excitation is varied until resonance is achieved asdescribed in Section 3.2.6. Given the geometry, mass andsystem parameters, the shear and

40、 longitudinal moduli andmaterial (hysteretic) damping may be determined at a mea-sured strain value. The amplitude of vibration is typicallyvaried to measure the variation of moduli and damping as afunction of strain. Since the test is usually conducted at strainlevels between 0.00001 and 0.5% strai

41、n leaving the specimenrelatively intact, the test is often conducted at several differentsets of ambient stress conditions to measure the variation ofmoduli and damping with ambient stress.NOTE 1The quality of the results produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel perfo

42、rming it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities. Agencies that meet the criteriaof Practice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competent andobjective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are cau-tioned that compliance with Practice D 3740 does not in itself as

43、surereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5. Significance and Use5.1 The modulus and damping of a given soil, as measuredby the resonant-column technique herein described, dependupon the strain amplitude of vibr

44、ation, the ambient state ofeffective stress, and the void ratio of the soil, temperature, time,etc. Since the application and control of the ambient stressesand the void ratio are not prescribed in these methods, theapplicability of the results to field conditions will depend onthe degree to which t

45、he application and control of the ambientstresses and the void ratio, as well as other parameters such assoil structure, duplicate field conditions. The techniques usedto simulate field conditions depend on many factors and it is upto the engineer to decide on which techniques apply to a givensituat

Apparatus6.1 GeneralThe complete test apparatus includes theplatens for holding the specimen in the pressure cell, thevibration excitation device, transducers for measuring theresponse, the control and readout instrumentation, and auxil-iary equipment for specimen preparation.6.

47、2 Specimen PlatensBoth the active-end and passive-endplatens shall be constructed of noncorrosive material having amodulus at least ten times the modulus of the material to betested. Each platen shall have a circular cross section and aplane surface of contact with the specimen, except that theplane

48、 surface of contact may be roughened to provide for moreefficient coupling with the ends of the specimen. The diameterof platens shall be equal to or greater than the diameter of thespecimen. The construction of the platens shall be such thattheir stiffness is at least ten times the stiffness of the

49、 specimen.The active-end platen may have a portion of the excitationdevice, transducers, springs, and dashpots connected to it. Thetransducers and moving portions of the excitation device mustbe connected to the platen in such a fashion that they are to beconsidered part of the platen and have the same motion as theplaten for the full range of frequencies to be encountered whentesting soils. The theoretical model used for the resonant-column system represents the active-end platen, with allattachments, as a rigid mass that is attached to the specimen;this mass m
