Determination of damping ratios for soils using bender element tests [PDF]
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2018 Abstract The use of bender elements to measure small-strain soil properties in the laboratory has become increasingly accessible in recent years. Coupled with the fact that bender elements can be incorporated into conventional test apparatuses such as the triaxial test brings about great savings in time and resources as the bender element tests can ...
