Abstract
N-028 MULTISCALE ANALYSIS REVEALING THE LATERAL VARIATION OF SOIL STRENGTH FROM S-WAVE REFLECTION DATA R. GHOSE and J.C.M. GOUDSWAARD Section of Applied Geophysics Centre for Technical Geoscience Delft University of Technology The Netherlands Summary We propose a new approach of spatially integrating shear-wave seismic reflection data reflecting the stiffness distribution to Cone Penetration Test data representing the distribution of strength of soil. The approach is based on extracting the fine scale velocity variation information from the seismic data by a multiangle inversion and then employing a multiscale analysis to the fine-scale velocity function and the cone resistance to characterize the
