Problem 2. (20 points) An evaluation of the in situ small strain shear modulus for a clay soil at a particular depth is 12,500 kPa. Call this Gmax. The first iteration of a dynamic analysis using the small strain moduli gives estimated cyclic shear strain of 0.1%. The Plasticity Index of the soil is 40. Find the values of G and critical damping ratio (in %) to be used in the next iteration of the analysis.
