Abstract
Present day knowledge of the magnitude of the strain levels in the
ground associated with geotechnical structures, together with an
increasing number of projects requiring the best estimates of
ground movements around excavations, has led to, inter alia,
increased interest in measuring the very-small-strain stiffness of
the ground Gmax. Continuous surface wave geophysics offers a
quick, non-intrusive and economical way of making such
measurements. This paper reviews the continuous surface wave
techniques and evaluates, in engineering terms, the applicability
of the method to the site investigation industry.
