Bender Element Testing Equipment

Home Facilities Bender Element Testing Equipment

Make: Hydraulic & Engineering

Model: HS 28.05 BE

  • Shear wave Velocity (Vs) Measurement
  • Piezoelectric transducers to generate and receive shear waves
  • Measures the time of the travel of the wave through the soil specimen
It generating shear waves and measuring the small strain shear modulus does not change the properties of the specimens, and is thus considered to be a non-destructive test.
