MEASUREMENT OF DYNAMIC EARTH PRESSURES ACTING ON MODEL WELLS IN WEAK GROUND

The dynamic earth pressures acting on the model wells measured when they were sunken in situ in weak ground and forcedly vibrated are described. The frequency of resonance in the dynamic earth pressure is different from that of the top plate's displacement and varies with soil property. The dynamic K-value seems to be minimum at resonance. A static horizontal loading test was also carried out. The dynamic K-values are from one to three times the static K-values.
