Abstract

Summary

The velocity structure up to 1 km in three locations situated in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria was investigated using HVSR technique. The sites were selected according to the present of boreholes and geological information for the sediment thickness and geothermal water level. 30 min recording with broadband seismometer Geobit GeotinyMK2 was performed in each location. Velocity models up to 1000 m were obtained from inversion of the H/V curve. The results correlate well with the velocity models based on the geological structure. Even some deviations of the depths of the layers compared to the depths estimated from boreholes are observed in all locations the results show that the technique can be applied successful to a depth up to 1 km.
