The shear wave velocity profile is of primary interest for geological characterization of soil
sites and elucidation of near-surface structures. Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves …

Despite their efficiency and usefulness in geotechnical engineering, the un-standardized
surface wave methods are still limited in certain aspects. Among these methods, the MASW …

For layered models with a low-velocity half-space, Rayleigh waves can exhibit inversely
dispersive patterns and thus are advantageous for providing useful information on the …

In foundation survey projects for hotel buildings in Kentucky, assisted by drilling data, an
integrated geophysical survey was undertaken. The main goal of the project was to …

Abstract The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method is one of the
noninvasive methods that can be used to determine the shear wave velocity. The shear …

Subsurface void detection using seismic imaging is a challenging task that has been the
subject of extensive research. In this thesis, I employ the novel multi-component backscatter …

We examine the sensitivity of the Love and the quasi-Rayleigh waves to model parameters.
Both waves are guided waves that propagate in the same model of an elastic layer above an …

We study the Backus (1962) average of a stack of layers overlying a halfspace to examine its
applicability for the quasi-Rayleigh and Love wave dispersion curves. We choose these …

Near-surface shear wave velocity is very important for geophysical and geotechnical
engineering. The use of surface wave for characterization of the near-surface subsurface …

In situ characterization of dynamic soil characteristics by means of surface wave tests
frequently involves the determination and inversion of dispersion and attenuation curves …
