    Soil Young's Modulus

    Uploaded by

    Andre Ulianov
    Soil elastic Young's modulus, commonly referred to as soil elastic modulus, is a measure of soil stiffness defined as the ratio of stress to strain in the elastic range. It can be estimated from laboratory or in-situ tests or based on correlations with other soil properties. Typical Young's modulus values vary from 0.35-80 MPa depending on soil type, from silts to sands to clays, as well as the soil's consistency, with stiffer soils having higher modulus.

    Soil elastic Young's modulus

    Geotechdata.info - Updated 17.09.2013


    Soil Young's modulus (E), commonly reffred to as soil elastic modulus, is an elastic soil parameter and
    a measure of soil stiffness. It is defined as the ratio of the stress along an axis over the strain along that
    axis in the range of elastic soil behaviour. The elastic modulus is often used for estimation of soil
    settement and elastic deformation analysis.
    Soil elastic modulus can be estimated from laboratory or in-situ tests or based on correlation with other
    soil properties. In laboratory, it can be determined from triaxial test or indirectly from oedometer test.
    On field, it can be estimated from Standard penetration test, Cone penetration test , pressuremeter or
    indirectly from dilatometer test.
    Typical values of soil Young's molulus for different soils according to USCS
    In general, the soil stiffness and elastic modulus depends on the consistensy and packing (density) of
    the soil. Typical values of soil Young's modulus are given below as guideline.
