Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design is a comprehensive account of the open pit slope
design process. Created as an outcome of the Large Open Pit (LOP) project, an international …

This research proposed a novel and powerful surface wave dispersion curve inversion
scheme called Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) inspired by the particular leadership hierarchy …

Seismic Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications presents the foundational tools
necessary to properly analyze surface waves acquired according to both active and passive …

Rayleigh waves have been used increasingly as an appealing tool to obtain near-surface
shear (S)-wave velocity profiles. However, inversion of Rayleigh wave dispersion curves is …

Dominant higher modes of surface waves are known to be generated at sites with large
stiffness contrasts and∕ or reversals between layers. At many engineering sites, quite often …

Surface waves are advantageous for mapping seismic structures of permafrost, in which
irregular velocity gradients are common and thus the effectiveness of refraction methods are …

When applied to hydrogeology, seismic methods are generally confined to the
characterisation of aquifer geometry. The joint study of pressure-(P) and shear-(S) wave …

Many studies show that certain geophysical methods, such as seismic and electrical-
resistivity imaging, appear to be well adapted for investigating the internal structures of …

Site characterization for design of deep foundations is very crucial, as unanticipated site
conditions still represent significant problems and disputes occur during construction …

Propagation of surface waves can occur with complex energy distribution amongst the
various modes. It is shown that even simple VS (shear-wave velocity) profiles can generate …
