Abstract
Wave propagation in a water-saturated porous column consisting of fixed sand particles is studied by means of a shock tube technique. Pore pressures and axial strains are recorded simultaneously. The measurements show a coincident compression of pore fluid and porous column during the passage of the first wave. Due to the second wave the pore fluid is compressed while the porous material expands. This observed behavior is in agreement with theoretical predictions. The introduction of a frequency-dependent permeability and an effective pore radius based on a cylindrical duct model yields an improved description of the damping of the second wave.
