Measuring Shear Wave Velocity Using Bender Elements
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2005 Abstract The use of bender element to measure shear wave velocity is popular due to its simplicity. However, there are still some uncertainties in the interpretation of the bender element test. In this paper, the use of bender elements in the determination of shear wave velocities of dry, unsaturated, and saturated soil specimens is ...

Instrumentation for bender element testing of soils
International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2008AbstractDetermination of shear wave velocity in sands is necessary for safety of various civil engineering structures. With this in view, earlier researchers have employed, mainly, resonant column and bender elements to determine this parameter. However, resonant column tests can only be performed in especially designed apparatus, which is not only ...

Bender Elements: Performance and Signal Interpretation
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2005Bender elements are convenient shear wave transducers for instrumenting soil cells due to optimal soil-transducer coupling and compatible operating frequency. Experimental and analytical methods are implemented in this study to explore various aspects of bender element installations including: electromagnetic coupling prevention, directivity, resonant ...

On the performance of bender elements in triaxial tests
Géotechnique, 2012This paper presents the results of a research programme in which the transfer functions of bender element/soil systems have been measured for various materials, set-ups and stress levels. The resulting database has allowed the characterisation of the inherent multi-vibrational nature of the system, and the interpretation challenges that this imposes ...

Tracking degradation of argillaceous rocks using bender elements
2011The results of a comprehensive experimental program focused on the study of progressive degradation processes on a low permeability argillaceous rock induced by hydraulic cycles is presented in the paper. Relative humidity cycles were applied with vapour transfer technique, and bender elements were used to evaluate the evolution of shear stiffness ...

Bender elements: bad source – good receiver
, 2008 Shear wave velocity measurement in the laboratory, by means of Bender Elements is becoming more and more popular for geotechnical characterization. The reasons of the increasing popularity of such method are well known and among the many the “apparent” simplicity of the testing method should be mentioned.
