Abstract

The aim of this paper is to establish the basic features of the shallow seismic refraction method and its effective application in highway engineering projects. Included are comparisons of available equipment, recommended field procedures and interpretation techniques, an outline of the problems in interpretation and a discussion on the compatibility between seismic information and that obtained using other site investigation techniques. An example of a characteristic refraction record and a relevant worked example are also provided. Refs.
