Cyclic/Dynamic Testing
A practical method for utilization of commercial cyclic testing apparatuses for computation of site response in central Adapazari
We suggest a practical method for estimating strain–modulus–damping relationships for utilization in equivalent-linear site response analyses, so that the necessity for more sophisticated sampling and testing procedures can be justified.
