Assessment for Application of Horizontal Component Wave applied to Surface Wave Method for Ground stiffness Investigation

The SASW method is a promising and effective way of profiling ground stiffness nondestructively. This method has been successfully applied to many geotechnical sites, but significant lateral variability, embedded obstacles, and pavement lead to the low reliability. To improve these problems, the horizontal wave component has been introduced to improve the reliability of the stiffness profile determined by the SASW method. To understand dispersion character of the horizontal component wave propagation in artificial profiles, FEM analysis had been performed. Used models are homogeneous half-space and two layered half- spaced layers.
