GeoHyTE Software

GeoHyTE is a computational tool for the automatic identification of the small strain shear modulus of geomaterials from the output signal of bender element tests.

INTENT – Intelligent health monitoring of road infrastructures using bender elements embedded in pavements

INTENT is a R&D project to develop a new bender element for the continuous monitoring of the dynamic stiffness of unbound granular layers, and use it, along with conventional sensors and advanced numerical models, to fuel machine learning algorithms for continuous monitoring of pavements.
