The growing interest in the maintenance of favorable soil structure is largely motivated by its
central role in plant growth, soil ecological functioning, and impacts on surface water and …

Near-surface site characterization is of great significance in the fields of geotechnical
engineering and resource exploration. In this paper, we propose a near-surface site …

The phase velocity of Rayleigh-waves of a layered earth model is a function of frequency
and four groups of earth parameters: compressional (P)-wave velocity, shear (S)-wave …

The InterPACIFIC project was aimed at assessing the reliability, resolution, and variability of
geophysical methods in estimating the shear-wave velocity profile for seismic ground …

Recent field tests illustrate the accuracy and consistency of calculating near-surface shear
(S)-wave velocities using multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW). S-wave velocity …

Near-surface geophysics uses the investigational methods of geophysics to study the nature
of the very outermost part of the earth's crust. Man interacts with this part of the earth's crust …

High-frequency (≥ 2 Hz) Rayleigh wave phase velocities can be inverted to shear (S)-wave
velocities for a layered earth model up to 30 m below the ground surface in many settings …

Surface wave dispersion data obtained in field surveys are inherently incomplete. Poorly
constrained dispersion curves and inclusion of data from higher-mode dispersion curves …

A database of shear-wave velocity (V s) measurements using a variety of techniques and
soil properties measured on high-quality samples for 28 Norwegian sites has been …

In this case study two geophysical methods based on seismic waves were employed to
evaluate the geotechnical properties of the soil deposits at a site for a planned wind farm …
