Abstract

This paper determines 1D shear wave velocity (Vs) distribution of rockfill zone of CFRD using Vs profile determined by the surface wave test. There exists uncertainty in the field test result because of a spatial variation of material property. The harmonic wavelet transform is used to evaluate the uncertainty of test result and generate random 1D Vs distributions which may exist in the rock fill zone. Through the statistical analysis of generated random Vs distributions, the representative 1D Vs distribution considering the uncertainty of test results is proposed for the rockfill zone of CFRD in Korea.
