Experimental Determination of Soil Damping Coefficients

  • EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Calculation analysis of interaction between the building foundation and the soil is gaining increasing attention, particularly in the seismic regions. The results of the analysis of building dynamics depend largely on the dissipative (damping) properties of the soil, which are determined via experimental methods. The article proposes a method for determining the damping characteristics of bulk materials using an experimental stand. The stand can also be used to find effective ways for damping construction objects.
