Determining Shrinkage Cracks Based on the Small-Strain Shear Modulus–Suction Relationship

Determining Shrinkage Cracks Based on the Small-Strain Shear Modulus–Suction Relationship

This research aims to propose the use of spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW) tests along with in-situ suction measurements for non-destructive determination of shrinkage cracks. The underlying principle behind this proposed method is that, while suction and the small-strain shear modulus are po...
