In Situ Characterization of Geotechnical Systems with Shear Waves
Presented by Dr. Kenneth H. Stokoe, Brunswick-Abernathy Regents Professor,
  Geotechnical Engineering Center, University of Texas at Austin
Wednesday, 10 April 1996, 4:00-5:00 pm, Room 221, More Hall

Significant advances have occurred during the past two decades in the
development of field methods--particularly seismic CPT, Oyo suspension
logger, and the SASW method--for shear wave velocity measurements.  It is
now possible to perform such measurements for non-dynamic as well as
dynamic problems.  Example applications involving non-dynamic studies
(e.g., evaluations of dynamic compaction, tunnel liners, dam
foundations, solid waste landfills, offshore sites, and pavements) and
dynamic studies (e.g., earthquake ground shaking and liquefaction
investigations) are presented in the lecture.
