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...
