| Abstract | Design of railway track and highways on embankments with compacted fills often needs the value of small-strain shear modulus of the fill soil to be known before construction. This paper presents a new method of determining the value of G $_{ max }$ using bender elements within the mould of laboratory compaction test which is generally performed to decide specifications of field compaction before construction. This method is much easier to perform and simulates the field conditions closely. A design mould configuration is suggested after due consideration to near-field effect and rigid boundary effect during wave propagation in the compaction mould. This process of wave propagation is also simulated using 3-D finite element model in ABAQUS to study the effect of aspect ratio of mould for different values of Poisson’s ratio of compacted soil. Accordingly, the testing procedure is laid out for bender element test after compaction of soil in the mould and applying vertical load to simulate the overburden expected at different depths of embankments. Using the proposed test procedure, the value of G $_{ max }$ has been measured at different overburden values for several soil samples. The collected G $_{ max }$ data is used to look at overburden effect and how it can be applied in design. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
