Abstract:The evaluation of groundwater presence by means of seismic wave velocities is of great concern for many hydrological related engineering applications. This work introduces a simple basic procedure to accurately and systematically identify groundwater levels using P-wave and S-wave velocities. This procedure is defined as a seismic reflectivity parameter and based on the seismic reflection coefficients of P-wave and S-wave at the unsaturated/saturated interfaces (i.e., groundwater level). The present procedure … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
