Duomorph sensing for laboratory measurement of shear modulus

Abstract

The authors developed a simple laboratory test procedure to measure the shear modulus of a sediment under controlled loading conditions. A duomorph sensor has been constructed for this purpose. Compressional wave velocity has been measured using compressional wave transducers before and after consolidation to validate the duomorph results. Initial results indicate that the concept is feasible, and continued testing is planned.<>
