4.1 Introduction
Soil dynamics problems are typically categorized according to the shear strain levels involved.
A) Small shear strains: < 10-4 %
Examples include:
Offshore soil behavior
Machine foundations
Compaction, densification, construction activities

the soil hysteretic damping ratio Dhys does not depend on the frequency. Whereas
viscous damping ratio depends on the frequency. Energy loss in a viscous dashpot
is function of frequency. Thus, when using dashpot to model soils, use

Hence soil is modeled as a spring without a viscous dashpot. Because viscous dashpot
constant depends on the loading frequency, however soil damping is hysteretic damping and
does not depend on the frequency.

G for sands may slightly increase with increasing number of cycles of load.
G for clays decreases with increasing number of cycles of load.
Hysteresis loop is not influenced by frequency of load application.

in which, (γc,τc) is the inflection point, c is a parameter: c = ±1 − τc Ττf (the first term is
positive for reloading and negative for unloading), 𝜏𝑓 (=Gmax*(γr )) is the ultimate shear
strength of the soil. It is worth to note that ''c'' parameter turns into a constant value for
cyclic loading conditions.
The Pyke model is more advantageous in providing the hysteresis loop for an arbitrary
dynamic loading. However, Hardin and Drnevich model only provides the average path that
determines the stress- strain behavior of the soil under dynamic loads without formulizing
any hysteresis loop.

Example 4.2
The ground water table in a normally consolidated sand layer is located at a depth of 3 m
below the ground surface. The unit weight of sand above the groundwater table is 15.5
kN/m3. Below the groundwater table, the saturated unit weight of sand is 18.5 kN/m3.
Assuming that the void ratio and relative density of sand below the groundwater table are 0.6
and Dr=43%, respectively, determine the damping ratio and the shear modulus of this sand at
a depth of 7.5 m below the ground surface if the strain is expected to be about 0.12%.
