The karst environment is one of the most challenging in terms of groundwater, engineering
and environmental issues. Geophysical methods can provide useful subsurface information …

Surface‐wave methods (SWMs) are very powerful tools for the near‐surface characterization
of sites. They can be used to determine the shear‐wave velocity and the dam** ratio …

One of the recurring problems in civil engineering and landscape management is the
detection of natural and man-made cavities in order to mitigate the problems of collapse and …

Non-invasive geophysical methods are often used for detecting near-surface defects and
monitoring seepage in river dykes or dams. Between 2008 and 2009, a series of …

In this paper, we study the possibilities of the use of microtremor records in the detection and
delineation of near‐surface underground cavities. Three‐dimensional physical modelling …

An integrated geophysical approach to detecting and characterizing karst structures in an
urban environment was applied experimentally to partially explored karst conduits located in …

A new stable and accurate, finite-difference 2D elastic seismic wave propagation modeling
algorithm is developed, with a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition …

Surface-wave dispersion inversion is growing in popularity for geotechnical applications,
due to its noninvasive character, relative straightforward field procedures and interpretation …

In earthquake engineering, shear wave velocity (Vs) is an effective parameter for quantifying
the ground's effects due to shaking. The determination of Vs is usually done by costly and …

Multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) is a seismic method that uses surface waves
(specifically fundamental mode Rayleigh Waves) to estimate shear wave velocities (Vs) …
