A fixed-partly fixed Hardin-type resonant column which has a system that allows the specimen to be tested in resonance while maintaining an anisotropic loading path, is utilized. The results show important influence of the fiber content as well as the anisotropic stress state on the normalized modulus reduction and damping increase curves of the reinforced soils. Specifically, the increase of fiber content and stress ratio tend to increase the linearity in the normalized modulus reduction curves. On the other hand, the inclusion of fiber leads to the damping increase curves to shift to greater values, while the stress ratio has an opposite effect. An expression is proposed to predict the normalized shear modulus, as a function of mean effective confining pressure, stress ratio, coefficient of uniformity of the host sand and fiber content. The damping ratio, in a normalized form, is correlated with the normalized shear modulus reduction. date: 2019-11 date_type: published publisher: ELSEVIER SCI LTD official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2019.105764 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1724273 doi: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2019.105764 lyricists_name: Coop, Matthew Richard lyricists_id: MRCOO77 actors_name: Coop, Matthew Richard actors_id: MRCOO77 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Soil Dynamics And Earthquake Engineering volume: 126 article_number: 105764 pages: 15 citation: Li, H; Senetakis, K; Coop, MR; (2019) Medium-strain dynamic behavior of fiber-reinforced sand subjected to stress anisotropy.
