Does anyone have any range of values for the dynamic shear modulus of a lean clay with a unit weight of 106 pcf?

This is for a compressor pad design.

See Arya, O'Neill and Pincus, "Design of Structures and Foundations for Vibrating Machines" Gulf Publishing Company for empirical estimates of G based on void ratio, plasticity index and overconsolidation ratio.
