Laboratory Investigation on the Stress-Dependent Anisotropic Shear Wave Velocity (Vs) and Coefficient of Lateral Earth Pressure at Rest (K0) of Granular Materials by Guangbo Du, Nina Liu, Zhao Xia, Xin Kang

“…The laboratory investigations suggested (1) the K0 showed a constant value during loading, while it increased as the OCR increased during unloading, (2) soils with smaller particle sizes, rough surfaces, and angular geometry tended to have a lower value of K0, and vice versa, (3) both the anisotropic stress state and the anisotropic fabric (geometry) could lead to the Vs anisotropy, but the Vs anisotropy was manifested due to the horizontal stress-lock during unloading stage, and (4) the published correlation between Vs and K0 was modified by introducing the influence of the OCR, which could effectively reduce the variation and improve the prediction accuracy. …”
