- Abstract:
- The paper focus on the realization of a reliable geotechnical model for a study on Seismic Response Analysis, for which one of the most important steps is represented by the accurate knowledge of shear wave velocity profiles of soil. The implementation of these tests, however, must also take into account economical aspects since, especially in some cases of minor works, it may be convenient to combine traditional tests for direct measurement of shear wave velocity (Down-Hole, Cross-Hole, SDMT) with indirect and less expensive tests (MASW). The MASW test (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves), is being performed by use of vertical geophones and allows the reconstruction of the vertical profile of the velocity of the wave S based on the inversion of the dispersion curve of the Rayleigh waves. The use of this methodology is widespread for economic reasons, but requires however direct testing for an accurate validation.
