Quantification and reduction of parameter uncertainty of dynamic soil characteristics. KU Leuven
Characterisation of shallow, horizontal, soil layers is important for the study of different problems in civil and geophyscial engineering, such as the prediction of ground borne vibrations or the calculation of site amplification. This PhD thesis addresses the determination of dynamic soil characteristics by means of the active Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), P-wave refraction and Seismic Cone Penetration Test (SCPT) methods. ...
