The small strain shear modulus (G0) is an important characteristic of geomaterials. Its laboratory measurements are very frequently based on bender element transducers installed in different geotechnical apparatuses. Despite their widespread use, there is room to improve the precision, reproducibility, and robustness of bender element measurements, which are currently hampered by an oversimplified interpretatio...
