A Modified Rowe Cell with Bender Elements for Small Strain Shear Modulus Measurements
Geotechnical Testing JournalThe small strain shear modulus (G0) is an important characteristic of geomaterials. Its laboratory measurements are very frequently based on bender element transducers installed in different geotechnical apparatuses. Despite their widespread use, there

Advances in laboratory geophysics using bender elements [PDF]
, 2006 Bender element transducers are used to determine the small-strain shear stiffness,G0, of soil, by determining the velocity of propagation of mechanical waves through tested samples. They are normally used in the laboratory, on their own or incorporated in geotechnical equipment such as triaxial cells or oedometers.Different excitation signals and ...

Practical experience of bender-extender elements
, 2003 This paper deals with a rather short practical experience of the use of bender elements (2000-2002) and since 2002, of bender-extender elements at the Research Institute in Civil and Mechanical Engineering (GéM). The bender-extender elements are piezo-ceramics transducers set up into a conventional triaxial cell.

On the feasibility of mounting bender elements in a flexible wall permeameter
, 2018 Zoned embankment dams comprise some of Canada’s largest and most important infrastructure. A phenomenon that has emerged in recent times as a matter of concern for dam safety risk management is seepage-induced internal erosion in embankment dams and their foundations.

Shear modulus of hydrate bearing calcareous sand-fines mixture [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 This article presents a laboratory study on the maximum shear modulus of a THF hydrate bearing calcareous sand (CS)–fines mixture. The maximum shear modulus was inferred from the shear wave velocity measured from the bender elements installed in a ...

Effect of Wave Attenuation on Shear Wave Velocity Determination Using Bender Element Tests
Sensors, 2022 Wave attenuation is a widespread physical phenomenon in most acoustic tests, but there is a scarcity of quantitative investigations into the influence of wave attenuation on the determination of shear wave travel time in bender element tests.

Relating wave frequency and pore fluid homogeneity in quasi-saturated sands [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 P-wave velocity is regularly proposed as a proxy for water saturation when studying quasisaturated soils. However, several authors have underlined that this velocity can only be reliably correlated to water saturation if the pore fluid is “homogeneous ...

Wavelet analysis of bender element signals [PDF]
Géotechnique, 2012 Accurate determination of shear wave arrival time using bender elements may be severely affected by a combination of near-field effects and reflected waves. These may mask the first arrival of the shear wave, making its detection difficult in the time domain. This paper describes an approach for measuring the shear wave arrival time through analysis of
