Evaluation of the shear wave velocity (VS) of an artificial carbonate sand obtained with the use of bender elements test

Carbonate sand is characterized by the presence of fragile grains, which may influence their mechanical response due to the imposed loading; especially cyclic loading. The shear wave velocity (VS) provides relevant information for the design of foundation inserted in this type of soil, which can be...
