Hey guys, recently I have do some self-study on the ground response parameters on cohesive and cohesionless soil.. I made some deduction but I cannot confirm if it is correct or not, thus needing the help from the PF community. The deduction is as follows;
I need explanation for the occurrence of this phenomena..
(1) As the thickness of the soil increases, the frequency will decrease. Why?
(2) Amplification is higher in less dense/cohesive soil (e.g clay) than denser soil thus making cohesive soil to have a lower shear wave velocity, Vs. Why?
(3) As thickness of the soil increases, the shear wave velocity will also increase. Why?
(4) How does grain size affects the shear wave velocity?
(5) How does density affect the shear wave velocity?
(6) From the image, we can see that sand produce a steady amplification, and that amplification on clay is getting bigger and bigger..Why?
Thanks for your help! If any statement is wrong above, please do let me know, thanks! :D
