    Handout-3 - Site Investigations

    This chapter discusses field investigation methods to determine the shear modulus of soil. The most reliable methods are those conducted in the field, such as downhole surveys. These are preferred because laboratory testing of disturbed soil samples is often subjected to errors. The chapter focuses on using S-wave velocity measurements from downhole surveys to calculate the shear modulus. It explains that the shear modulus is proportional to the square of the S-wave velocity and discussing obtaining Gmax at small strain from field measurements.
