Near-Surface Geophysical Characterization of Lithologies in Corfu and Lefkada Towns (Ionian Islands, Greece)

Lefkada and Corfu old towns are located in the western part of Greece, Ionian Sea. Their proximity to Hellenic subduction zone (HSZ) is reason for their intense seismicity. The main goal this study was estimation geotechnical characteristics subsurface, with contribution applied geophysical techniques. Therefore, seismic refraction tomography (SRT) multichannel analysis surface waves (MASW) were applied. A total thirty-three (33) geoelectrical profiles performed both order evaluate subsurface formations. Additionally, resistivity distributions investigated application electrical (ERT). Some important elastic moduli calculated through combination estimated wave velocities laboratory density measurements. horizontal distribution mechanical properties (?, E, K, G) town illustrated maps, depth 5 m. interpretation also revealed that Lefkada’s consists only one compact geological formation, little or no variation its geophysical-geotechnical characteristics. Beyond that, ground type classifications two determined according European Committee Standardization Eurocode 8, based on VS30 values.
