GEOLOGIC QUESTIONS ABOUT:

ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

What are the IN SITU values of the elastic constants-Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, Poisson's ratio? How strong is the alluvium? How strong is the rock? What is the shear wave (S-wave) velocity and compressional wave (P-wave) velocity of specific subsurface layers? Is liquefaction and collapse a risk for my dam? What are the design parameters for my wind farm turbine foundations?

 

Geophysical Solutions:

GOOD METHOD: SurfaceWave Analysis (M-9)

BETTER METHOD: P And S Wave Refraction (M-2)

BEST METHOD: Cross Hole Seismic (M-7)
