2. Dynamic soil behavior
2.1 Shear modulus G and shear strain amplitude
Deformation moduli depend on the amplitude of deformation. The orders of magnitude of deformations for structures are on average between 10 -4 and 10 -2 whereas conventional tests (penetrometer, oedometer, conventional triaxial) give moduli representative of deformations in excess of 10 -2 .
For the design of structures under the action of an earthquake, knowledge of the shear modulus G in the deformation range 10 -4 and 10 -6 is required, as is the damping ξ.
