Overview

Assessment reveals shear wave velocity and geotechnical properties in subsurface soils, indicating stability.

Key Points

  • The study identifies geotechnical properties in subsurface soils, enhancing foundation stability assessment.
  • Using MASW, shear wave velocity was measured, yielding critical data on soil layers for infrastructure planning.
  • Fieldwork included a 72-meter MASW profile, generating data with a 10 kg hammer and 24 geophones for accuracy.
  • Results highlight medium cohesive layers in foundation sites, emphasizing the significance for future geotechnical developments.
