Edward Cox will be presenting a review of advances in shallow seismic investigations to enable the management of ground risk.
Please arrive from 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.
Abstract
Complementing traditional approaches to site characterisation, recent developments in near-surface seismic investigation techniques have led to better representation of ground structure and in-situ geotechnical properties, improving the likelihood of avoiding unforeseen ground conditions for infrastructure development.
A properly designed, executed and communicated (and critically, early) geophysical screening strategy can help not only to optimise subsequent intrusive campaigns but to populate what can represent large information gaps (uncertainty) in the Ground Model space between points of control such as boreholes and probings and their associated localised tests.
We will review six seismic methods where recent advances in data acquisition technology and/or processing offers an opportunity for improved early screening for infrastructure development and/or seismic site assessment, and benefits in terms of better risk evaluation and timely decision-making.
