seismic piezocone device (scptu) together with resonant column and cyclic triaxial test apparatus are employed to measure small strain shear modulus (g0) of carbonate sandy and clayey soils of southern coasts of iran. a large area of southern regions of iran is formed from clay, silt and sand. in this study, maximum shear modulus that is derived from both field (by seismic piezocone) and labora...

shear and compressional wave velocities along with other petrophysical logs, are considered as upmost important data for hydrocarbon reservoirs characterization. shear wave velocity (vs) in well logging is commonly measured by some sort of dipole logging tools, which are able to acquire shear waves as well as compressional waves such as sonic scanner, dsi (dipole shear sonic imager) by schlumbe...

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...

Shear wave velocity (Vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. Although compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. Furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. This study proposes a novel methodolo...

the liquefaction resistance of soil can be evaluated using laboratory tests such as cyclic simple shear, cyclic triaxial, cyclic torsional shear as well as field methods like standard penetration test (spt), cone penetration test (cpt) and shear wave velocity (vs). in this regard, this study attempts to compare the results of the spt based on the simplified procedure proposed by seed and idriss...

geological conditions of tabriz, a growing city in nw-iran, are strongly influenced by north tabriz fault (ntf). north tabriz fault is a major seismogenic fault in nw-iran. so, for a correct seismic microzonation, shear wave velocity (vs) structure in different part of city should be determined. but urban conditions, such as ambient noise due to cultural activity, restrict the general applicati...

Higher quality shear wave velocity has been pursuing since its importance in multicomponent exploration. To better monitoring CO2 sequestration, shear wave velocity (Vs) is needed to implement elastic numerical study on the target reservoir. A number of shear wave velocity estimation methods and their corresponding comprehensive comparison are presented in this article. The survey is situated i...
