Abstract:
On May 27th 2006, Yogyakarta earthquake happened with 6.3 Mw. It was causing widespread destruction and loss of life and property. The average shear wave velocity to 30 m (Vs30) is useful parameter for classifying sites to predict their potential to amplify seismic shaking (Boore, 2004) [1]. Shear wave velocity is one of the most influential factors of the ground motion. The average shear wave velocity for the top 30 m of soil is referred to as Vs30. In this study, the Vs30 values were calculated by using multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method. The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method was introduced by Park et al. (1999). Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is non-invasive method of estimating the shear-wave velocity profile. It utilizes the dispersive properties of Rayleigh waves for imaging the subsurface layers. MASW surveys can be divided into active and passive surveys. In active MASW method, surface waves can be easily generated by an impulsive source like a hammer, sledge hammer, weight drops, accelerated weight drops and explosive. Seismic measurements were carried out 44 locations in Yogyakarta province, in Indonesia. The dispersion data of the recorded Rayleigh waves were processed by using Seisimager software to obtain shear wave velocity profiles of the studied area. The average shear wave velocities of the soil obtained are ranging from 200 ms-1 to 988 ms-1, respectively.

Abstract:
The multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASWs) method was used to obtain the shear wave velocity variations through near surface (depth < 30 m) and semi-deep (30 m < depth < 100 m) soil layers in the city of Ottawa, Canada. Sixteen sites were examined to evaluate the capability of the active and passive MASW methods for cases where the shear wave velocity(Vs)contrast between very loose soil (Vs< 200 m/s) and very firm bedrock (Vs> 2,300 m/s) is very large. The MASW velocity results compared with those of other geophysical approaches, such as seismic reflection/refraction methods and borehole data, where available, mostly confirming the capability of the MASW method to distinguish the high shear wave velocity contrast in the study area. We have found that, of the inversion procedures of MASW data, the random search inversion technique provides better results than the analytical generalized inversion method.

Abstract:
An acoustic soil profiler, using a so-called the high-frequency multi-channel analysis of surface waves (HF-MASW) method, has been developed, which uses surface (Rayleigh) waves to measure soil profile in terms of the shear (S) wave velocity as a function of depth, up to a 2.5 m deep below the surface. Several practical techniques have been developed to enhance the HF-MASW method, including (1) a variable sensor spacing configuration, (2) the self-adaptive method, and (3) the phase-only signal processing. Fundamentally, the S-wave velocity is related to soil mechanical and hydrological properties through the principle of effective stress. Therefore, the measured two-dimensional S-wave velocity images reflect the temporal and spatial variations of soils due to weather effects, geological anomalies, and anthropologic activities. Several HF-MASW applications will be reported, including (1) near surface soil profiling, (2) a long-term-survey for studying weather and seasonal effects, (3) short-term monitoring rain fall events, (4) detecting fraigpan layers, and (5) a farmland compaction study. This acoustic soil profiler can be used for agricultural, environmental, civil engineering, and military applications.

Abstract:
Surface-wave dispersion analysis is widely used in civil engineering to infer a shear wave velocity model of the subsoil for a wide variety of applications. Combining with a example, multi-channel analysis of surface waves method (MASW) was discussed in this paper. The entire MASW's procedure of three steps: acquiring ground roll data in the field, processing the data to determine dispersion curve, and back calculation of the geologic parameters for different depths. Based upon all the research results by far, MASW method is an efficient methods because of its high accuracy that is achieved by both special field technique and data processing technique.

Abstract:
The study was to characterize the sub surface at Agere in Ekori, using seismic refraction method, multichannel analysis of surface waves technique and borehole intrusive technique. Data were collected using a 12channel seismograph and other accessories required for seismic refraction data collection. Software called seismicimager was used to examine the data. The primary wave velocity in the first layer varied from 690 m/s at 4.2 m to 96 m/s at 7.3 m. A Vp range of 315 m/s to 484 m/s at a depth of 2 m is present inside the layer and represents the organic soil constituents. A Vp range of 669 m/s to 1756 m/s represents loose sand (dry), loose made ground (rubble), landfill rubbish, disturbed soil, and clay landfill, all within a depth of 2.3 m to 12.1 m. In addition to the borehole intrusive method, multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) techniques was used to calculate the soil profile based on velocity. The source was a 7 kg sledge hammer, the detectors (receivers) were 24 units of 4.5 Hz geophones, and the recorder was a Terraloc Mark 8 ABEM. Seismicimager software was used for analysis. At Ajere 1 through 6, the MASW test configuration employed 5 m geophone spacing and a source offset distance of 5 m, while at Ajere 7, it used 1 m geophone spacing and a source offset distance of 2 m. Near the boreholes, all of the MASW test arrays were run. The trustworthy seismic data from Ajere 1 to 6 at depths of 0.7 m to 13.1 m and 4.7 m to 17 m. Based on SPT N values, the results showed that the shear wave velocities had been classified into three layers of soil: very soft, soft, and firm. The velocities below 164 m/s, between 164 and 190, and 190 m/s to 320 m/s were classified as these soil types. In the meantime, a drilling invasive technique based on SPT N value determines changes in the soil layer. Hard material shear wave velocity data was not provided. In conclusion, because of its non-destructive, non-invasive nature and relative speed of evaluation, the MASW technique has the potential to be adapted in soil study to complement intrusive technique.

Abstract:
Surface wave dispersion imaging approach is crucial for multi-channel analysis of surface wave (MASW). Because the resolution of inversed S-wave velocity and thickness of a layer are directly subjected to the resolution of imaged dispersion curve. The τ-p transform approach is an efficient and commonly used approach for Rayleigh wave dispersion curve imaging. However, the conventional τ-p transform approach was severely affected by waves amplitude. So, the energy peaks of f-v spectrum were mainly gathered in a narrow frequency range. In order to remedy this shortage, an improved τ-p transform approach was proposed by this paper. Comparison has been made between phase shift and improved τ-p transform approaches using both synthetic and in situ tested data. Result shows that the dispersion image transformed from proposed approach is superior to that either from conventionally τ-p transform or from phase shift approaches.

Abstract:
Abstract In Western-Atakent (İstanbul), population density is increasing day by day and settlement areas are expanding. Soil properties and landslide conditions of these expanding regions must be absolutely examined. In the geophysics, there are many methods used to investigate landslide risks and geotechnical structure. The most common geophysical methods used for this purpose are the Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) and Microtremor Survey Method (MSM) methods. These methods are very successful techniques for defining underground layers as geological structures, stratigraphic elements, soil layer thickness and landslide. Because of that reason in this study, soil properties and possibility of landslides of the Western-Atakent (İstanbul) region were investigated by using ERT, MASW, MSM and drilling methods. In this study the first stage, electrical resistivity data have been measured using dipole-dipole method on two profiles for ERT. In the second stage, MASW measurements have been made at 25 points on 5 seismic profiles in the field. In the third stage, MSM measurements have been made to determine the fundamental period in the 5-measure station in the study area. In the fourth and final stage, 10-pieces boreholes with a depth of 20 m were drilled to reveal the lithological structure of the study area. As a result of the evaluation of all data, parts of the region that could form landslides were revealed.
