Point target interferometry as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Monitoring of ground deformation is a critical component of geotechnical engineering practice. This study investigated the application of synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR), using point target analysis (IPTA) ...
Development of shear wave velocity profiles in the deep sediments of the Mississippi Embayment using surface wave and spectral ratio methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The deep soils of the Mississippi Embayment in the central United States will have a significant influence on earthquake ground motions generated by the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The seismic properties of these soils, which ...
Influence of site conditions on near-field effects in multi-channel surface wave measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Geophysical measurements using surface wave methods (SWM) are in widespread use as a means to non-destructively and non-intrusively characterize geotechnical site conditions for a variety of applications. Surface wave ...
Development and implementation of an underwater system for interface wave measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Measuring shear wave velocity profiles has become integral to geotechnical site investigation both on land and offshore. Obtaining accurate near-surface profiles in soft marine sediments can be expensive and time consuming ...
Analytical study of the spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves method at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method is an accepted means of measuring shear wave velocity (VS). In some settings, SASW measurements have produced results that were inconsistent with results from other ...
