The Correlation Of Seismic P- And S-Waves From Refraction And Downhole Methods For Soil Properties Verification

In recognition of the complexities in obtaining in-situ velocity, empirical correlation was established in this study to estimate the in-situ velocities by using seismic refraction. Similarly, there are several difficulties in obtaining seismic refraction S-wave data including its processing. For th...
