Case Studies

Bender Element Testing on Rocks

 

When performing bender element tests, good contact or ‘coupling’ with the soil is critical to obtaining clear results. On a soil sample, the element can either be pushed in, as in the case for soft clay, or created around the element itself for samples such as sand. Performing bender element tests on rocks however can create a problem, because it is not obvious how to insert the element. Read how GDS investigated the problem. Click Here
