... in laboratory triaxial testing. Geosynthetics were placed at specimen mid-height and three pairs of Bender Element (BE) sensors were placed at various heights above the geosynthetic to collect shear waves and quantify the degree of mechanical stabilization during resilient modulus testing. While resilient...

... studies on seismic response of EPS geofoam have been carried out using laboratory axial torsional resonant column, bender element, cyclic uniaxial and triaxial tests (Athanasopoulos et al. 1999 , 2007 ; Ossa and Romo 2009 , 2011 ; Trandafir et al. 2010 , 2011 ; Chen et al...

...R. Alaie; R. Jamshidi Chenari In this study, a series of strain-controlled cyclic triaxial as well as bender element tests are carried out, so that the dynamic properties of mixtures of sand and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads can be assessed under large and small-scale shear strains, respectively...
