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 …

Passive surface wave methods have gained much attention from geophysical and civil
engineering communities because of the limited application of traditional seismic surveys in …

Develop a Greater Understanding of How and Why Surface Wave Testing Works Using
examples and case studies directly drawn from the authors' experience, Surface Wave …

The main scope of the InterPACIFIC (Intercomparison of methods for site parameter and
velocity profile c haracterization) project is to assess the reliability of in-hole and surface …

Surface-wave dispersion analysis is widely used in geophysics to infer a shear wave
velocity model of the subsoil for a wide variety of applications. A shear-wave velocity model …

Suitable for undergraduates in geotechnical engineering and for use by graduate students,
this book explores not only the basics but also several advanced aspects of soil behaviour …

Surface-wave tests are based on the solution of an inverse problem for shear-wave velocity
profile identification from the experimentally measured dispersion curve. The main criticisms …

This paper compares measured and predicted site response at the Garner Valley Downhole
Array (GVDA) using a wide range of shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles developed from both …

Functionally graded materials (FGM) are materials in which there is a gradual variation in
functional properties of the material so as to make it useful for different purposes. The life …

Inversion of surface‐wave free fields is of great importance in providing seismic excitations
for the finite element (FE) analysis of soil–structure interaction (SSI) systems. In the case of …
