Evaluating Shear Wave Velocity of In-Place Compacted Backfill

J. C. Damm, Michael Lewis, K H Stokoe, Daniel P. Moore

Abstract

The shear wave velocity profile of a soil column is often used to assist in the characterization of a site. Most often, this column consists of native, undisturbed materials. If backfill is required for the final site configuration, the shear wave velocity of the backfill is typically estimated from empirical relationships. Very seldom are measurements of the backfill made to obtain a site specific shear wave velocity profile.
