SHEAR WAVE VELOCITY DETERMINATION FOR SILTY SAND SOILS Mehmet Inanc ONUR Anadolu University, Department of Civil Engineering, Eskisehir- Turkey [email protected] Abstract: The resonant column test is commonly used in geotechnical earthquake engineering to determine the dynamic behavior of soils. Soil specimen is subjected a wave propagation under different frequencies and wave velocities are determined. In this study, shear wave velocities were measured for reconstituted silty sand samples. Samples were prepared at different relative densities and saturation degrees also test were performed under different confining pressures. The effects of these factors on the shear wave velocities were investigated by comparing the test results. Keywords: Resonant Column Test, Shear Wave Velocity, Silty Sand 1
