  Near-Surface Seismic Refraction Tomography; a case study for geotechnical application

  By Lingerew Nebere Kassie

  Abstract: Usually, among geophysical techniques, seismic refraction methods are used to investigate near surface geology for engineering purposes. In these study physical parameters, longitudinal seismic wave velocities were used to characterize the shallow subsurface layers for geotechnical application. The physical response of subsurface materials varies as the structure, porosity, fluid saturation, composition and tie-up vary. These variations primarily viewed in the first arrival time of seismic waves. With the necessary steps, …
