Abstract
The University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) will acquire multi-channel surface-wave (Rayleigh wave) seismic data in the vicinity of the Wahite Ditch Bridge and St. Francis River Bridge test sites. These Rayleigh wave data will be processed and analyzed, and used to construct subsurface shear-wave velocity profiles to depths on the order of 100 feet. These Rayleigh wave data will be compared to borehole seismic and seismic cone penetrometer (CPT) data previously acquired at the test sites. The objective is to determine if the multi-channel surface-wave seismic tool is a cost-effective and accurate means of determining shear-wave velocity profiles for the shallow subsurface.
