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.

Book excerpt: The earth is full of geophysical signals. Passive geophysical methods such as gravity, magnetic, and magnetotelluric surveys detect these signals. The microtremor survey method listens to the natural seismic signals from road traffic, machinery, ocean waves, and meteorological sources and analyzes for subsurface acoustic properties, in particular the shear-velocity profile for the earth at a scale of a few meters to a few kilometers. The required instrumentation is simple and can be applied where conventional seismic surveying is difficult, particularly in the urban areas. This book describes the nature of the microtremor noise field, the use of appropriate surface arrays of geophones, and the two principal classes of array processing techniques (high-resolution beam forming and the spatial autocorrelation method, or SPAC). Applications of the method exist in earthquake-hazard site zonation and in engineering seismic investigations. This is the first comprehensive textbook of the microtremor survey method written in English. The translation and publication from the original Japanese text have been a joint project of SEG, the SEG of Japan, and the Australian SEG.

Book excerpt: It is widely believed that to efficiently represent an otherwise smooth object with discontinuities along edges, one must use an adaptive representation that in some sense 'tracks' the shape of the discontinuity set. This folk-belief - some would say folk-theorem - is incorrect. At the very least, the possible quantitative advantage of such adaptation is vastly smaller than commonly believed. We have recently constructed a tight frame of curvelets which provides stable, efficient, and near-optimal representation of otherwise smooth objects having discontinuities along smooth curves. By applying naive thresholding to the curvelet transform of such an object, one can form m-term approximations with rate of L(sup 2) approximation rivaling the rate obtainable by complex adaptive schemes which attempt to track' the discontinuity set. In this article we explain the basic issues of efficient m-term approximation, the construction of efficient adaptive representation, the construction of the curvelet frame, and a crude analysis of the performance of curvelet schemes.

This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of engineering seismology includes geotechnical site investigations for buildings and engineering infrastructures, such as dams, levees, bridges, and tunnels, landslide and active-fault investigations, seismic microzonation, and geophysical investigations of historic buildings. These projects require multidisciplinary participation by the geologist, geophysicist, and geotechnical and earthquake engineers. A key objective of this book (SEG Investigations in Geophysics Series No. 17) by Öz Yilmaz is to encourage the specialists from these disciplines to apply the seismic method to solve the many challenging engineering problems they face. The broader scope of engineering seismology also includes exploration of earth resources, including groundwater exploration, coal and mineral exploration, and geothermal exploration. While focusing on the application of the seismic method to geotechnical site investigations, this book includes many case studies in all of the applications of engineering seismology.

Download or read book Near-surface Characterization Via Seismic Surface-wave Inversion written by Soumya Roy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterization of the near-surface is important in identifying shallow properties and structures. In this dissertation, special emphasis is placed on estimating near-surface shear (S)-wave velocities (V_S) which can be used for exploration seismology as well as geotechnical purposes; and even for planetary studies. A frequency-based surface-wave (Rayleigh-wave or ground-roll) inversion method (MASW: Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) has been used to estimate 1D and 2D S-wave velocities. The method has been applied on varied seismic datasets related to numerical modeling, physical modeling, and field surveys. The field seismic datasets are from different geological settings and geographical locations: 1) La Marque, Texas, 2) Barringer (Meteor) Crater, Arizona, 3) YBRA field camp, Montana, 4) Hockley fault survey, Texas, and 5) Bradford, Pennsylvania. Estimated S-wave velocities range from as low as 100-300 m/s (La Marque, Hockley) to as high as 3400-3500 m/s (physical model: blank glass block). For the Meteor Crater survey, an unconsolidated near-surface structure (ejecta-blanket) and its thinning thickness trend (thickness decreasing from 20 m to 5 m) has been successfully identified using 2D V_S structure (400-1200 m/s). The depths of investigation for S-wave velocities vary from only 10 m (Hockley survey) to 180 m (Bradford survey) depending on acquisition geometries and source types. Apart from the identification of geological structures; S-wave velocities have been used to calculate S-wave statics and predict densities. The long-wavelength S-wave statics have been calculated for Bradford and Meteor Crater surveys. The densities have been successfully predicted from V_S for modeling experiments and field data (Bradford and YBRA surveys). All predicted densities are consistent with known values with a maximum error of 6%. The effect of lateral heterogeneity on MASW has also been evaluated using different numerical and physical models (dipping layers varying from 10℗ð to 90℗ð). MASW works well for gentle heterogeneity but provides smeared velocity structures for sharp heterogeneities (physical model experiment and Hockley fault survey). A basic full-waveform inversion scheme has been applied on a numerical model with a vertical interface (i.e. 90℗ð dip) showing its potential to handle lateral heterogeneity problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media presents a systematic treatment of the interaction of seismic waves with Earth structure. The theoretical development is physically based and is closely tied to the nature of the seismograms observed across a wide range of distance scales - from a few kilometres as in shallow reflection work for geophysical prospecting, to many thousands of kilometres for major earthquakes. A unified framework is presented for all classes of seismic phenomena, for both body waves and surface waves. Since its first publication in 1983 this book has been an important resource for understanding the way in which seismic waves can be understood in terms of reflection and transmission properties of Earth models, and how complete theoretical seismograms can be calculated. The methods allow the development of specific approximations that allow concentration on different seismic arrivals and hence provide a direct tie to seismic observations.
