Measuring shear and compression wave velocities of soil using bender–extender elements

open access: yesCanadian Geotechnical Journal, 2009
Piezoceramic elements have been used for laboratory measurement of wave velocity in soil and rock specimens. Shear-wave piezoceramic elements (bender elements) are commonly used to measure shear wave velocity for the determination of small-strain shear ...

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 that errors appearing in the velocity estimation can be traced to (1) the near-field effect and (2)

Discrete element modeling of shear wave propagation using bender elements in confined granular materials of different grain sizes

, 2020
The discrete element method is used to simulate shear wave propagation resulting from bender element tests in confined granular materials. The effects of particle size, wave travel distance, confining pressure, void ratio, input frequency, and adopted ...

Analysis of Bender Element Tests

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1998
Abstract A study is presented of potential errors in, and methods of interpreting, the results of cantilever-type, piezoceramic bender element tests for measuring the shear wave velocity of laboratory soil specimens. Interpretations based on the first direct arrival in the output signal are often masked by near-field effects and may be ...

A Toolbox for the Automatic Interpretation of Bender Element Tests in Geomechanics

2022
The small strain shear modulus is an important characteristic of geomaterials that can be measured using bender element experiments. However, most conventional interpretation techniques are based on the visual observation of the output signal and are inherently subjective.
