Comparison of mean shear wave velocity of the top 30 m using downhole, MASW and bender elements methods
Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves MASW tests were performed in different seismic stations where boring information and downhole tests were available. Active MASW tests were performed using 12 geophones of 4.5 Hz of frequency repeating 5 tests in each location. From the readings, dispersion curv...

Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves MASW tests were performed in different seismic stations where boring information and downhole tests were available. Active MASW tests were performed using 12 geophones of 4.5 Hz of frequency repeating 5 tests in each location.

Downhole tests were analyzed using the direct approach in four stations (Maipú, Peñalolen, Casablanca and Melipilla), and using existing Vs results for Llolleo site. V S profiles obtained from MASW and downhole tests are compared and the average shear wave velocity of the top 30 m (V S30) calculated for each station.

Therefore, a good testing methodology and analysis of the MASW data allows reliable results and the same seismic classification of the soil.
