Abstract
The dynamic soil properties, shear modulus and damping ratio, are studied on five types of clay samples which have relatively different plasticity characteristics. The resonant column method is conducted on compacted samples. Specimens are compacted by using modified mini proctor compactor. The effect of moisture content, shear strain amplitude and vertical stress on shear modulus and damping ratio of these samples are investigated. The values of shear modulus and damping ratio are tabulated and plotted to understand easyly.
