Abstract

Measuring dynamic properties of gravel-sized materials demands large specimens. Due to the difficulties in experiment as well as equipment, the dynamic properties of gravel-sized material has rarely been investigated. To realize free-free end condition more properly and stabilize specimen during testing with new specimen support system, a free-free resonant column testing device, which is capable of testing gravel-sized materials and constraining a specimen in free-free boundaries, is developed. We report the calibration of the equipment and preliminary testing results on Jumunjin sand. The testing data are compared with the previous data obtained from the existing fixed-free resonant column test.
