Katedra Mechaniki i Mostów RB5

Katedra Geotechniki i Dróg zaprasza na wykład Pani prof. Cristiany Ferreira (University of Porto), który odbędzie się we wtorek, 30 września br. o godz. 10:15 w s. 110.

Tematem wykładu będzie:
"Bender element testing for dynamic characterization of a wide range of geomaterials: challenges and new opportunities"

Summary of the lecture:
The use of bender elements (BE) for seismic wave velocity measurements is becoming routine in many geotechnical laboratories worldwide. The advantage of obtaining small-strain stiffness measurements during mechanical testing, coupled with its easy and low-cost implementation are the main reasons for its attractiveness. This talk aims to compile the experience of BE testing on a wide range of geomaterials and the different challenges and lessons learned, while also highlighting new opportunities derived from such experience.
