Today, surface-wave analysis is widely adopted for building near-surface S-wave velocity
models. The surface-wave method is under continuous and rapid evolution, also thanks to …

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 …

A method for estimating the S-wave velocity (VS) profile of subsurface soils is proposed,
based on inversion of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) spectrum of microtremors observed …

Surface-wave dispersion analysis is widely used in geophysics to infer a shear wave
velocity model of the subsoil for a wide variety of applications. A shear-wave velocity model …

Simulated annealing was used to invert fundamental and higher-mode Rayleigh wave
dispersion curves simultaneously for an S-wave velocity profile. The inversion was applied …

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 …

Surface wave tests are non-invasive seismic techniques that can be used to determine the
low-strain dynamic properties of a soil deposit. In the conventional interpretation of these …

Focusing on a comparison of the accuracy of the extended spatial autocorrelation (ESAC)
method and the frequency–wavenumber spectrum (FK) method, we carried out short-period …

I calculate Fourier—Bessel expansion coefficients for recorded shallow-seismic wavefields
using a discrete approximation to the Bessel transformation. This is the first stage of a full …
