Interaction Effects of Simultaneous Torsional and Compressional Cyclic Loading of Sand by Patrick M. Griffin,William N. Houston Pdf
An experimental research program based on laboratory test studies and scaled slope model tests was conducted with specimens of Monterey No. 0 sand. The principal objective of the research was to study the effects of interactive coupling during combined compression (normal) and shear loading on the response of sands to dynamic loading. The research program included the following experimental studies: (1) Resonant Column tests on cylindrically shaped specimens using longitudinal and torsional excitation, both separately and in combination. (2) Thin-walled Hollow Cylinder tests using longitudinal and torsional cyclic excitation, both separately and in combination. (3) Large scale shaking table tests on slope models, using horizontal and vertical cyclic excitation, both separately and in combination. (Author).
