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 damping ratio …

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 …

To maintain optimal serviceability and control maintenance costs, regular inspections of
pavements are vital. Compared to other non-destructive methods, Rayleigh wave …

Soil behaviour under cyclic loading or dynamic conditions is of interest for a wide range of
problems, from foundation vibrations to site response during earthquake. In particular the …

The usual inversion procedures for spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) testing
assume that only one Rayleigh mode is dominant, and thus fail to give reliable results for …

The objective of this study is to detect and estimate the size of a cavity beneath a concrete
plate using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and microphone surveys in laboratory tests. A …

The amplitude of vertical ground surface vibrations generated by impact tests on the ground
surface was measured at various radial distances from the point of impact at locations of …

The ability of the spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) test to detect underground
obstacles has been investigated. The SASW test is simulated by the finite-element method …

This paper presents the results of a multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) test
conducted over near-surface mine workings, with the objective of delineating the underlying …

Following a brief overview of the history and the development of the Surface Wave Method—
with a focus on techniques for processing and inverting field data—a Simplified Inversion …
