These laboratory test results were compared to the results of in-situ seismic surveys. Test results showed that the shear wave velocity estimated from the Young’s modulus on triaxial test is lower than those from bender elements and in-situ tests. In particular, it was remarkably recognized in the sample including coarse materials. Therefore, in the case of a comparison of initial stiffness between the laboratory and in-situ tests, the shear wave velocity should be measured in the laboratory test in the same way as the in-situ test.}, pages = {350--369}, title = {Effects of Initial and Induced Anisotropy on Initial Stiffness of Sand by Triaxial and Bender Elements Tests}, volume = {GSP143}, year = {2005} }
