Download or read book Surface Wave Methods for Near Surface Site Characterization written by Sebastiano Foti and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Efficient Joint Analysis of Surface Waves and Introduction to Vibration Analysis Beyond the Clich s written by Giancarlo Dal Moro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, showing how a detailed definition of the shear-wave velocity (VS) profile can be efficiently obtained using limited field equipment and following simple acquisition procedures. It demonstrates how surface waves (used to define the VS profile) and vibration data (used to describe the dynamic behaviour of a building) can be recorded using the same equipment, and also highlights common problems, ambiguities and pitfalls that can occur when adopting popular methodologies, which are often based on a series of simplistic assumptions. Today, most national and international building codes take into account a series of parameters aimed at defining the local seismic hazard. Sites are characterised based on the local VS profile, and the dynamic behaviour of existing buildings is defined through the analysis of their eigenmodes. The book includes a series of case studies to help readers gain a deeper understanding of seismic and vibration data and the meaning (pros and cons) of a series of techniques often referred to as MASW, ESAC, SPAC, ReMi, HVSR, MAAM and HS. It also provides access to some of the datasets so that readers can gain a deeper and more concrete understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects.

Download or read book Surface Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications written by Giancarlo Dal Moro and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications presents the foundational tools necessary to properly analyze surface waves acquired according to both active and passive techniques. Applications range from seismic hazard studies, geotechnical surveys and the exploration of extra-terrestrial bodies. Surface waves have become critical to near-surface geophysics both for geotechnical goals and seismic-hazard studies. Included in this book are the related theories, approaches and applications which the lead editor has assembled from a range of authored contributions carefully selected from the latest developments in research. A unique blend of theory and practice, the book's concepts are based on exhaustive field research conducted over the past decade from the world's leading seismologists and geophysicists. - Edited by a geophysicist with nearly 20 years of experience in research, consulting, and geoscience software development - Nearly 100 figures, photographs, and examples aid in the understanding of fundamental concepts and techniques - Presents the latest research in seismic wave characteristics and analysis, the fundamentals of signal processing, wave data acquisition and inversion, and the latest developments in horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) - Each chapter features a real-world case study—13 in all—to bring the book's key principles to life

This book was released on 1982 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rayleigh waves from the Eastern Kazakh test site recorded at Seismic research Observatory receivers have been analysed for phase-velocity dispersion, group velocity dispersion and spectral amplitude. Linear inversion theory has been used to interpret these data as arising from waves propagating in plane-layered earth models. This yields the mean shear velocity and attenuation over each path as well as the moment of the source. Using the path models, synthetic seismograms have been calculated for use in more refined estimated of source type and source strength. Multivariate linear discrimination has been used to distinguish synthetic body wave spectra of explosions from synthetic body wave spectra of earthquakes. The same algorithm with no modification is highly successful at distinguishing the body wave spectra for real events. High frequency attenuation of the spectra fro real data causes the deterministic discriminant to be biased. It is shown how the bias is used to infer t* (seismic attenuation). The attenuation parameter, t*, has been calculated for Kazakh-SRO and NTS-SRO paths for several score underground explosions. For NTS sources, t* is about 0.8. For Kazakh sources t* ranges between 0.2 and 0.8.
