Abstract
The present study aims to clarify the deformation-strength properties of natural grounds consisting mainly of volcanic coarse-grained soils. Site investigations using cone penetration test (CPT), standard penetration test (SPT) and seismic cone penetration test (SCT) were performed at three sites in Hokkaido, Japan. In addition to these in-situ tests, a series of cyclic triaxial test on the undisturbed samples taken from their sites were also carried out to obtain the pseudo elastic shear modulus and damping ratio and their dependencies on strain level. From the test data, it was found that; (1) N-values obtained from SPT on crushable volcanic grounds are underestimated with the increase of the number of dynamic penetrations due to the particle breakage, (2) there are the linear relationships among ql from CPT, shear modulus GSC, obtained from SCT and SPT-N value for volcanic soil grounds, and (3) small strain shear modulus obtained from the in-situ and laboratory tests is independent of void ratios of volcanic grounds.
