Dependence of the Dynamic Modulus of Soil Deformation on Impact Frequency

Abstract

Laboratory experiments on clayey soils under dynamic triaxial compression were conducted to establish a nonlinear relationship between the dynamic modulus of soil deformation and the frequency of impact. The most significant increase in the dynamic modulus of soil deformation is observed under an increase in frequency from 5 to 10 Hz. In comparison with fluvioglacial soils, the dynamic deformation modulus in glacial loams grows slower under an increase in frequency. This confirms the dependence of the obtained relations on the genesis of soils. The research results were used to develop vibration protection systems for high-precision equipment in high-tech industries.
