191 APPENDIX D-2 Element Tests β WLA Site Strain- and Stress-Controlled Undrained Cyclic Direct Simple Shear Tests Matched with UCSDSAND3 General To conduct an element test, at a minimum, the following is required: (i) site characterization, including results of in-situ testing that can be correlated to a set of the initial Constitutive Model (CM)

194 Undrained Testing β Strain-Controlled The CyDSS testing was performed on "Intact" samples of silty sand. Typically, because "intact" sample is destroyed by testing, multiple samples are required (one per strain level)
