Active and Passive Experiments for S-Wave Velocity Measurements in Urban Areas

Ground Shaking

“…It needs just one receiver and works well even in noisy areas, like urban areas. Then the nonlinear inversion of dispersion curves gives detailed V S profiles with depth of shallow structures (Nunziata et al 2012), overwhelming standard V s30 estimates.…”

“…Shear wave (V S ) and surface waves (Rayleigh and Love) are the most sensitive waves to local soil conditions. The investigation of local soil properties can thus be made by using FTAN analysis (http://www.mitp.ru/en/soft/Ftan_Intro duction.html) to record both local small earthquakes (Costanzo et al 2013), and active and passive seismic experiments (Nunziata et al 2012).…”
