Abstract
Several empirical correlations between damping ratio with various factors are available and many researchers have developed empirical correlations between damping ratio and normalized shear modulus. Regardless of the appearance of the equations, the estimation of the damping ratio from the normalized shear modulus at any given shear strain amplitude is possible. In this paper, thirty-two sets of normalized shear modulus versus damping ratio from ten references are used to find a new empirical equation for damping ratio of sandy soils. For clayey soils, more than forty sets of normalized shear modulus versus damping ratio from nine references are used. After compiling and analyzing these previous studies and data, equations of sandy and clayey soils for the correlation are determined with coefficient of determination (r2) = 0.918 and 0.844, respectively.
