While the use of bender elements for geotechnical testing dates back to the sixties and
seventies, the interpretation of this wave propagation test is still a debated topic. The most …

The liquefaction potential of soils is usually assessed based on cyclic simple/triaxial/
torsional shear tests. These tests are generally associated with low frequency vibrations in a …

Centrifuge and numerical modeling are developed to investigate the behavior of a
homogeneous embankment constructed on a liquefiable sand ground, which was prepared …

Abstracts This study investigates the degradation mechanism of red mudstone under the
influence of water vapor cycling from the macro-micro perspectives. Experiments are …

Bender element (BE) testing has become a widely used technique to evaluate S-wave
velocities and to derive shear moduli from them in laboratory tests. Results of BE tests …

On account of an increase in the isotropic confining pressure (σ 3) up to 30 MPa, this study
examines the variation of P and S wave velocities (VP, VS), Young's and shear moduli (E, G) …

Bender elements are shear wave transducers, used for the computation of small strain shear
moduli of geomaterials. However, the distortion of the output signal caused by residual …

Visual approaches of interpreting travel time in bender element experiments may not yield
the accurate interpretations in noisy signals, which are often the case in sandy specimens …

In this paper, the drained and undrained responses of the saturated sand specimens have
been investigated when subjected to small strain torsional excitation cycles using the …

Covid-19 pandemisi ile birlikte dünya genelinde tek kullanımlık yüz maskesi kullanımı büyük
