Relation between ”static” Young modulus E s , obtained from<br />

standard triaxial test at axial <strong>strain</strong> ε 1 ≈ 10 −3 , and ”dynamic”<br />

Young modulus (the one at very <strong>small</strong> <strong>strain</strong>s) E d = E o is<br />

shown in diagram published by Alpan (1970) (after Benz)<br />
