Dynamic Experimental Study on Highly Weathered Granite

Abstract:

The shear modulus and damping ratio are two important index in equivalent nonlinear model which is widely used in seismic response analysis. GDS resonant-column is used to study the shear modulus and damping ratio of highly weathered granite by controlling the consolidation confining pressure and pore water pressure. Variation of resonant frequency, shear modulus and damping ratio can be observed when different effective stress which is changed with confining pressure and pore water pressure applied on the sample. Hadin-Drnevich fitting curves are given on the basis of experimental data, and damping mechanism of highly weathered granite is discussed by making use of frictional theory. We can conclude from the results that there is a positive correlation between resonance frequency and shear strain, while there is a negative correlation between samples damping ratio and shear strain. The effective stress impact both samples shear modulus and damping ratio. However, pore water pressure can only act on damping ratio.
