Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Shear Band using Elastic Shear Wave PropagationT. Nachiengtai, W. Chim-Oye, S. Teachavorasinskun, W. Sa-NgiamviboolLocalization in soil under high stress level is usually investigated using some indirect measures, e.g., X-ray diffraction method. In the present study, the propagation velocity of shear wave was used to detect localization in sandy soil. Firstly, the general expression to exhibit the stress and density dependencies characteristics under consolidation and triaxial testing conditions of the tested soil was proposed. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
