Correlation between shear wave velocity and effective confining pressure using cyclic triaxial testing apparatus [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes struck Kumamoto and Ōita regions and caused several devastating liquefaction induced damages. The primary damage was due to the extreme ground shaking of the foreshock and main shock sequence.

The small strain stiffness from bender elements tests for clayey soils
Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - Sggw. Land Reclamation, 2018 The shear modulus of soils at small strain (G0) is one of the input parameters in a finite element analysis with the hardening soil model with small strain stiffness, required in the advanced numerical analyses of geotechnical engineering problems.

Stiffness moduli in triaxial tests on a loess-sand mixture [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesStiffness is one of the most important characteristics of geomaterials, and at the same time one of the most difficult to evaluate. It can be described by means of various stress-strain moduli, whose values strongly depend on the strain range and on the ...

Characteristics of elastic waves passing through a flowable fill at early age [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Elastic waves obtained from transducers are widely used to monitor the strength and integrity of cementitious materials. A pair of bender elements (BEs) and piezo disk elements (PDEs) embedded in a cuboid mould are applied to monitor elastic waves ...
