| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Abstract: This report presents a comparison of the results of field in situ surface vibratory investigations with the results of laboratory vibratory tests for thirteen sites within the United States and one site in the Marshall Islands. From comparisons of in situ and laboratory test results from the fourteen sites it was found that, in general, the laboratory-determined moduli ranged within ±50 percent of the in situ moduli. This degree of agreement is considered good since reasonable variations in confining pressure and density can easily account for the differences. At three sites, the laboratory-determined moduli were as much as 86 percent less than the in situ moduli. It is believed that additional field investigations are required to establish the cause of these deviations. |
