1、Designation: D4015 151Standard Test Methods forModulus and Damping of Soils by Fixed-Base ResonantColumn Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4015; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorially corrected Eq 28 in February 2017.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the determination of shearmodulus and she

3、ar damping as a function of shear strainamplitude for solid cylindrical specimens of soil in intact andremolded conditions by vibration using resonant column de-vices. The vibration of the specimen may be superposed on acontrolled static state of stress in the specimen. The vibrationapparatus and sp

4、ecimen may be enclosed in a triaxial chamberand subjected to an all-around pressure and axial load. Inaddition, the specimen may be subjected to other controlledconditions (for example, pore-water pressure, degree ofsaturation, temperature). These test methods of modulus anddamping determination are

5、 considered nondestructive when theshear strain amplitudes of vibration are less than 102%(104in. in.), and many measurements may be made on thesame specimen and with various states of static stress.1.2 Two device configurations are covered by these testmethods: Device Type 1 where a known torque is

6、 applied to thetop of the specimen and the resulting rotational motion ismeasured at the top of the specimen, and Device Type 2 wherean uncalibrated torque is applied to the top of the specimen andthe torque transmitted through the specimen is measured by atorque transducer at the base of the specim

7、en. For both devices,the torque is applied to the active end (usually top) of thespecimen and the rotational motion also is measured at theactive end of the specimen.1.3 These test methods are limited to the determination ofthe shear modulus and shear damping, the necessary vibration,and specimen pr

8、eparation procedures related to the vibration,etc., and do not cover the application, measurement, or controlof the axial and lateral static normal stresses. The latterprocedures may be covered by, but are not limited to, TestMethod D2850, D3999/D3999M, D4767, D5311/D5311M,orD7181.1.4 Significant Di

9、gitsAll recorded and calculated valuesshall conform to the guide for significant digits and roundingestablished in Practice D6026.1.4.1 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded and calculated in this standard are regarded as theindustry standard. In addition, they are represent

10、ative of thesignificant digits that should generally be retained. The proce-dures used do not consider material variation, purpose forobtaining the data, special purpose studies, or any consider-ations for the users objectives; and it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of rep

11、orted data to becommensurate with these considerations. It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethods for engineering design.1.4.2 Measurements made to more significant digits orbetter sensitivity than specified in this standard shall not beregarded a

12、nonconformance with this standard.1.5 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units, which are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard. Reporting oftest results in units other tha

13、n SI shall not be regarded asnonconformance with these test methods.1.5.1 The converted inch-pound units use the gravitationalsystem of units. In this system, the pound (lbf) represents a unitof force (weight), while the unit for mass is slugs. Theconverted slug unit is not given, unless dynamic (F

14、= ma)calculations are involved.1.5.2 It is common practice in the engineering/constructionprofession to concurrently use pounds to represent both a unitof mass (lbm) and of force (lbf). This implicitly combines twoseparate systems of units; that is, the absolute system and thegravitational system. I

15、t is scientifically undesirable to combinethe use of two separate sets of inch-pound units within a singlestandard. As stated, this standard includes the gravitationalsystem of inch-pound units and does not use/present the slugunit for mass. However, the use of balances or scales recordingpounds of

16、mass (lbm) or recording density in lbm/ft3shall notbe regarded as nonconformance with this standard.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soiland Rock and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.09 on Cyclic andDynamic Properties of Soils.Current edition a

33、in resonant column systems, is the averageshear strain in the specimen where the shear strain in each crosssection varies from zero along the axis of rotation to amaximum at the perimeter of the specimen.3.2.7.1 DiscussionThe radius for calculating averageshear strains vary depending on soil type, s

34、train level, confin-ing stress, etc. The default value of the radius for calculatingaverage strain is 0.4*diameter but values in the range of 0.33to 0.40*diameter may be used if the value is documented in thereport.3.2.8 system resonant frequency frs-1, nin resonant col-umn systems, for Device Type

35、1 is the lowest frequency atwhich the rotational velocity at the active end is in phase withthe sinusoidal excitation torque and for Device Type 2, is thelowest frequency at which the rotational motion at the activeend is a maximum.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The resonant column device is shown sch

36、ematically inFig. 1. In the resonant column test, a cylindrical soil specimen,usually enclosed with a thin membrane, is subjected to animposed static axial and lateral stress condition. Torsionalsinusoidal vibrations are applied at the top of the soil specimenand the rotational response is measured.

37、 The frequency ofexcitation is varied until the system resonant frequency isachieved as described in 3.2.8. Given the geometry, mass andsystem parameters, the equivalent elastic shear modulus anddamping capacity can be determined at a measured level ofexcitation vibration. The amplitude of vibration

38、 (which isrelated to shear strain) is typically varied to measure thevariation of modulus and damping as a function of shear strain.The test is usually conducted at levels of shear strain between0.00001 % and 0.2 %. (The upper limit of shear strain isdependent on the specimen stiffness and the maxim

39、um torquecapability of the excitation system.) For specimens where themaximum shear strain measured is of the order of 0.01 %, thetest is often conducted at several different sets of static axialand lateral stress conditions to measure the variation of moduliand damping with static stress states. Th

40、e test results aredependent on sample quality/specimen disturbance which arebeyond the scope of this standard.5. Significance and Use5.1 The equivalent elastic shear modulus and dampingcapacity of a given soil, as measured by the resonant columntechnique herein described, depend upon the strain ampl

41、itudeof vibration, the state of effective stress, and the void ratio ofthe soil, temperature, time, etc. Since the application andcontrol of the static axial and lateral stresses and the void ratioare not prescribed in these methods, the applicability of theresults to field conditions will depend on

42、 the degree to whichthe application and control of the static axial and lateralstresses 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 w

43、hich techniques apply to a givensituation and soil type. The results of these tests are useful forcalculations involving soil-structure interaction and seismicresponse of soil deposits.NOTE 1The quality of the results produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performin

44、g it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities. Agencies that meet the criteriaof Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent andobjective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are cau-tioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assurere

45、liable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralThe complete test apparatus is shown sche-matically in Fig. 1 and includes the platens for holding thespecimen in the pressure cell, the vibration excita

46、tion device(torque motor) , transducers for measuring the response, thecontrol and readout instrumentation, and auxiliary equipmentfor specimen preparation. The theory for the resonant columnis provided in Annex A1. The entire apparatus is generallyenclosed within a pressure chamber (commonly referr

47、ed to asa triaxial cell). For some apparatus that can apply an axial loadto the specimen, the pressure chamber lid may be fitted with apiston passing through the top.6.2 Specimen PlatensBoth the active-end and passive-endplatens shall be constructed of noncorrosive material having amodulus at least

48、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 surface of contact may be roughened to provide for moreefficient coupling with the ends of the specimen. Rougheningand flow of flui

49、ds into or from the specimen may be accom-plished by rigidly fastening porous disks to the platens. Thediameter of platens shall be equal to or greater than thediameter of the specimen. The construction of the platens shallbe such that their stiffness is at least ten times the stiffness ofthe specimen.D4015 15136.2.1 The active-end platen may have a portion of theexcitation device, transducers, springs, and dashpots connectedto it.
