Delineating a low velocity zone using joint inversion of rayleigh-wave dispersion curve

Seismic methods widely used to study the shallow subsurface for different purposes. Analysis of P-wave refraction cannot uniquely determine the seismic velocities as a function of depth when a low velocity layer is present. It is situation commonly encountered in geotechnical site investigation. Utilization of Rayleigh wave dispersion can be uses to determine the structure with existence of low velocity zone. In this study, we discuss efficiency...
