ANN FOR CORRELATION BETWEEN SHEAR WAVE VELOCITY OF SOIL AND SOME GEOTECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Ann for Correlation between Shear Wave Velocity of Soil and Some Geotechnical Parameters

Shear wave velocity (Vs) is known as one of the fundamental material parameters which is useful in dynamic analysis. It is especially used to determine the dynamic shear modulus of the soil layers. Nowadays, several empirical equations have been presented to estimate the shear wave velocity based on the results from Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and soil type. Most of these equations result i...

Geographic correlation between hot spots and deep mantle lateral shear-wave velocity gradients

Hot spot volcanism may originate from the deep mantle in regions exhibiting the Earth’s most pronounced lateral S-wave velocity gradients. These strong gradient regions display an improved geographic correlation over S-wave velocities to surface hot spot locations. For the lowest velocities or strongest gradients occupying 10% of the surface area of the core–mantle boundary (CMB), hot spots are...

Correlation between P-wave velocity and some mechanical properties for sedimentary rocks

Seismic techniques, which are known as nondestructive geophysical methods, are commonly used by engineers working in various fields such as mining, civil, and geotechnical engineering. They are frequently employed to investigate certain properties of rocks. Ultrasonic measurements can be applied in various application areas such as rockbolt reinforcement1, blasting efficiencies in the rock mass...

The Correlation between the CBR and Shear Strength in Unsaturated Soil Conditions

 In pavement design, the CBR and direct shear tests are two very common laboratory investigations for predicting the strength of a subgrade layer. The relationship between the CBR and water content has been commonly presented in analyses, with the result of the direct shear being expressed from the aspect of effective cohesion and the internal friction angle. Even though most natural soil is in...

Draft Development of global correlation models between in - situ stress - normalized shear wave velocity and soil unit weight for plastic soils

Global Shear Wave Velocity Database for Probabilistic Assessment of the Initiation of Seismic-Soil Liquefaction

Engineering practitioners commonly use penetration-based methods (SPT & CPT) for assessment of seismic liquefaction triggering hazard. On the horizon, shear wave velocity (Vs) may offer engineers a third tool that is lower cost and provides more physically meaningful measurements. Development of the shear wave velocity liquefaction method has been hampered by a paucity of published velocity pro...
