This paper presents the preliminary validation results of a laboratory apparatus developed to evaluate the continuous variations in hydraulic conductivity and stiffness of geomaterials subjected to percolation of water and/or other liquids. The apparatus has rigid walls and allows the application of vertical load and the continuous measurement of settlements. The measurement of stiffness is carried out by using bender elements sensors. For preliminary validation purposes, a few tests were performed in specimens of a uniform sand with the addition of Portland cement. The results obtained, when compared to other data found in the literature for the same material, showed the validity of the device to evaluate stiffness, indicating the possibility of its application in studies involving the degradation of geomaterials percolated by aggressive leaching solutions.
