Despite its apparent simplicity, there is still no standard for this test. A number of factors affect the reliability of the results. These factors are taken into account to design and build a BE system in a triaxial cell. A method for calibrating the system is proposed, using aluminum rods of different lengths. Recommendations are made regarding the selection of the frequency of the pulse used to produce the perturbation for carrying out the test. Finally, a series of tests carried out on two kinds of sand specimens are presented. 2012 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49624953003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.176 Vol.79 |
