C003 USE OF NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS TO EXPLAIN SASW FIELD MEASUREMENTS Abstract 1 ALI NASSERI-MOGHADDAM UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO Summary This study uses numerical models to explain the results of two MASW field tests in the presence of a void. The Fourier spectra of the field data contain a region with high energy concentration in the proximity of the void. Numerical models are constructed and the responses at the surface of the medium and around voids of different sizes and embedded depths are monitored. The numerical results show that part of the incident energy is trapped in the void region. The trapped
