... 142 APPENDIX C-2 Strain- and Stress-Controlled CyDSS Testing – "Intact" Specimen of Silty Sand 1. Overview This appendix documents strain-controlled Cyclic Direct Simple Shear (CyDSS)
From page 143...
... 143 • Strain-Controlled testing: Apply 10 cycles at each strain level, except at 1.0% strain amplitude. When performing a 1.0% strain amplitude test, if needed, apply more than 10 cycles (apply as many cycles as needed for soil to liquefy)
From page 144...
... 144 This device is, as marketed, capable of carrying out dynamic cyclic tests ranging from small strain (0.005% shear strain amplitude) to large strain (10% shear strain amplitude)
