SITE CHARACTERIZATION USING SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF SURFACE WAVES

Abstract

The study presented makes use of this method to make a maiden effort in the Indian geotechnical engineering research scenario towards the characterization of sites. The scope for study is rather wide, even though a beginning has been made and the results are promising of a future. The statement of the problem has been defined and a site has been selected for characterization. The method has been used with facility and assembled indigenously from the available literature. Finally the results have been checked using the prevalent methods of practice.
