Abstract
The non-invasive seismic method of multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) was utilized as part of a structural safety assessment of the 18.5 km (11.5 miles) long earthen Augusta Levee, Augusta, Georgia. This method was used to supplement the information derived from the conventional geotechnical exploration program which included soil borings, in-situ Standard Penetration Testing and collecting soil samples for laboratory testing. The findings from the MASW survey provided near continuous documentation of the subsurface conditions between the discrete soil test borings.
