A PROCEDURE TO CALIBRATE AND PERFORM THE BENDER ELEMENT TEST [PDF]

Dyna, 2012
El método de ensayo bender element es utilizado en laboratorio para obtener la velocidad de la onda cortante de suelos. A pesar de su aparente simplicidad, aún no existe una norma para este ensayo.

Analysis of bender element test interpretation using the discrete element method [PDF]

Granular Matter, 2015
While bender element testing is now well-established as a laboratory technique to determine soil stiffness, a robust technique to interpret the data remains elusive. A discrete element method (DEM) model of a face-centred cubic packing of uniform spheres

Interpretation of International Parallel Test on the Measurement of Gmax Using Bender Elements [PDF]

Soils and Foundations, 2009
This report summarizes the results of international parallel test on the measurement of the elastic shear modulus at very small strains, Gmax, using bender elements which was carried out from 2003 to 2005 by technical committee, TC29 (Stress-strain and ...

Measurement biases in the bender element test

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2007
This paper reconsiders the signals that are transmitted in bender element tests and the associated transfer functions to identify the problems that bias the velocity (travel time) determination. The findings of the numerical and physical experiments show

Determination of the material damping ratio with the Bender element test

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2008
The bender element test has shown to be a reliable tool to determine the shear wave velocity. This paper aims to extend the bender element technique to also measure the material damping ratio in a triaxial cell.

On Determination of Gmax by Bender Element and Cross-Hole Testing [PDF]

, 2014
The small-strain shear modulus, Gmax, is an important parameter in geodynamic problems and for advanced modelling. Gmax is influenced by several factors, which complicates the assessment and interpretation of test results.
