Soil characteristics for small deformations are of great importance in geotechnical engineering. Apart from the application in constitutive modeling and design, very important application are also in the interaction of soil and construction. The values of the maximum shear modulus and damping for small deformations in laboratory experiments can be determined by either a resonant column test or bender elements. In this thesis, research on Drava sand under small strains has been carried out. Resonant column testing methods were used to obtain the shear modulus G [MPa] for small deformations γ [%] and shear damping D [%]. Many simmilar studies have already been conducted on other type of sands and these data are used and compared in results. Two types of experiments were performed with the resonant column device: RC Chirp and torsional shear TS tests. Samples were prepared at relative densities of 50 and 80% and tested on three different effective confining pressures of 100, 200 and 400 kPa. The experiments of the RC Chirp resonant column were performed on a moisture content of 4% at two relative densities and on a fully saturated sample of relative density of 80% in drained and undrained conditions. The torsional shear TS tests were performed only on a 4% humidity sample at both relative densitys of 50 and 80% due to device limitation. For complete saturation of the sample, a modified cap and base were used which enshured the measurement of pore and back pressure. All results are presented in graphs G-γ, G / G1-γ, D-γ and G / Gmax-γ.
