The Measurement of Stiffness Anisotropy in Clays with Bender Element Tests in the Triaxial Apparatus

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1998
Abstract The paper presents the results of a program of research investigating the effectiveness of bender elements when used in conjunction with the triaxial apparatus for measuring the anisotropy of small strain stiffness of fine-grained soils. Tests were carried out on both intact and reconstituted samples of London clay and on kaolin

Haar Wavelet Transform for Arrival Time Identification in Bender Element Tests

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2019
Abstract The determination of shear wave velocity (Vs) using bender elements can be affected by the near-field effect. This phenomenon hinders the identification of the S-wave arrival time of an output signal. Multiple alternatives have been presented to counteract these effects, including the use of wavelet transforms during the last ...

Novel methods of bender element test analysis

2015
The complexity of bender element test interpretation iswell documented. For example the arrival of a compressionalwave at the receiver clouds the arrival of the true shearwave. The wave diffuses while travelling through the sample as the received signal is of lower magnitude than the transmitted signal.
