STIFFNESS AND PENETRATION RESISTANCE OF SANDS VERSUS STATE PARAMETER. DISCUSSION

This technical note considers two sand moduli: maximum values of shear modulus obtained from resonant column tests, and Young's modulus resulting from compression tests. Experimental data are discussed, the stiffnes of sand is described, as well as the dependence of sand stiffness on state parameter, and the dependence of penetration resistance on state parameter. Calibration chamber and conventional laboratory test results show that both normalized stiffness and normalized penetratioin resistance of a given sand are dependent on the state parameter. The findings indicate that the drained stiffness of the granular soil and the penetration resistance are both controlled by initial state of the deposit. Conclusions drawn from the findings are presented.
