Geotechnical engineering

high stiffness of soils at very small strains, much greater than classical test values, that governs ground movements around structures.

In geotechnical engineering, small-strain stiffness refers to high stiffness of soils at very small strains, much greater than classical test values, that governs ground movements around structures. This meaning comes from Burland (1989) in Canadian Geotechnical Journal.[1]
