Abstract:The seismic refraction tomography (SRT) method, which is environmentally compatible was used to evaluate the in situ geotechnical properties of rocks in El Alamein, a new city of northwestern Egypt. SRT data were obtained along nine profiles. The results of primary wave velocities (Vp), which are 400 to 1000 m/sec for the first layer, 700 to 1250 m/sec for the second layer, and 550 to 1150 m/sec for the third layer, and secondary wave velocities (Vs), which are 150 to 330 m/sec for the first layer, 230 to 430 … Show more
