A series of shear tests with static cyclic loading for uniform dry sand was carried out to find an effect of strain amplitude on the shear modulus and damping by a simple shear apparatus using a sensitive inclinometer to measure shear strains. The results are compared with the computed results proposed by Hardin and Drnevich (1970) which show a fairly good agreement with respect to the damping and the shear modulus. The simple shear apparatus is simple to operate and can cover a wide range of shear strain.
