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 Methods for Near-Surface Site
Characterization addresses both the experimental and theoretical
aspects of surface wave propagation in both forward and inverse
modeling. This book accents the key facets associated with surface
wave testing for near-surface site characterization. It clearly
outlines the basic principles, the theoretical framework and the
practical implementation of surface wave analysis. In addition, it
also describes in detail the equipment and measuring devices,
acquisition techniques, signal processing, forward and inverse
modeling theories, and testing protocols that form the basis of
modern surface wave techniques. Review Examples of Typical
Applications for This Geophysical Technique Divided into eight
chapters, the book explains surface wave testing principles from
data measurement to interpretation. It effectively integrates
several examples and case studies illustrating how different ground
conditions and geological settings may influence the interpretation
of data measurements. The authors accurately describe each phase of
testing in addition to the guidelines for correctly performing and
interpreting results. They present variants of the test within a
consistent framework to facilitate comparisons, and include an
in-depth discussion of the uncertainties arising at each stage of
surface wave testing. Provides a comprehensive and in-depth
treatment of all the steps involved in surface wave testing
Discusses surface wave methods and their applications in various
geotechnical conditions and geological settings Explains how
surface wave measurements can be used to estimate both stiffness
and dissipative properties of the ground Addresses the issue of
uncertainty, which is often an overlooked problem in surface wave
testing Includes examples with comparative analysis using different
processing techniques and inversion algorithms Outlines advanced
applications of surface wave testing such as joint inversion,
underwater investigation, and Love wave analysis Written for
geotechnical engineers, engineering seismologists, geophysicists,
and researchers, Surface Wave Methods for Near-Surface Site
Characterization offers practical guidance, and presents a thorough
understanding of the basic concepts.
