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 ...

EFFECT OF ALIGNMENT ON THE QUALITY OF BENDER ELEMENT PROCEDURE
Jurnal Teknologi, 2015 One of the main geophysical tools (seismic tools) in the laboratory is the bender element. This tool can be used to measure some dynamic soil properties (e.g. shear and Young’s modulus). However, even if it relatively simple to use the bender element, inconsistent testing procedures can cause poor quality in the bender element data.

Evaluation of the Stiffness of a Synthetic Soft Rock using Bender Elements
, 2021 Significant strength and stiffness come from the intact structure of soft rock, however, conventional drilling, sampling and extraction disturbs the material structure and results in a under representation of measured parameters.

Small-strain stiffness of liquefiable sands: A comparison between bender elements and resonant-column tests [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoil stiffness can be estimated by geophysical and dynamic testing methods. In the laboratory, the most common methods to measure the small-strain stiffness are the bender elements (BE) and resonant-column (RC) tests. This paper focuses on the comparison
