Abstract
Three surface wave techniques, SASW, active MASW, and passive MASW, were conducted at a well-characterized test site. Crosshole shear wave velocity, SPT N-value, and geotechnical boring logs were also available for the test site. For the multi-sensor active test data, it was observed that the cylindrical beamformer transform provided the best resolution in dispersion data over a wide range of frequencies. The dispersion data obtained from all three surface wave techniques was generally in good agreement, and the inverted shear wave profiles were consistent with the crosshole, SPT N-value, and material log results.
