2 What is MASW NDT Procedures SRS, GPR, NMR/PMR, SASW, MASW Seismic exploration method Evaluating ground stiffness 1D, 2D or 3D formats 19 December
3 Various Types of MASW Procedure of generation of waves Active MASW method Waves generated due to impact controlled by the user Passive MASW methods Utilizes the waves generated passively from natural and anthropogenic activities such as traffic, thunders, tidal motion, waves, air pressure changes and Microtremors Passive remote method Passive roadside method Combined Active and Passive Technique 19 December
4 MASW Survey: Overall Procedure Common procedure of 1D, 2D or 3D MASW surveys Data acquisition Acquiring multichannel field records Commonly referred as Shot Gathers in seismic exploration Dispersion analysis Extracting dispersion curves One from each record Inversion analysis Back-calculation of shear wave velocity (V s ) variation with depth 1D V s profile from each curve Indian Geotechnical Conference IGC2014 Theoretical dispersion curve closest to the extracted one 19 December

11 Data Processing and Analysis
12 DATA PROCESSING USING EASYMASW EASYMASW Commercial software Characterization of subsurface in terms of shear wave velocity Dispersion analysis technique Wavenumber-frequency spectra Phase velocity-frequency spectra (Greater resolution of results Chosen for the present study) Shear wave velocity profile for the top 30m of soil (V s-30 ) Provides idea about geotechnical parameters based on an inbuilt database Shear modulus, elastic and edometric modulus of the soil. 19 December
13 Dispersion Analysis Typical traces obtained from field records Selection of proper trace record Time cutting (if necessary) Typical dispersion image and curve Manual selection of dispersion curve Choice of selecting unimodal or multimodal features 19 December
14 Inversion Analysis Inversion analysis for shear wave velocity Optimization procedure to arrive at the final profile Optimization over depths of layers Optimization over shear wave velocity No optimization over unit weight and Poisson s ratio Final soil Stratigraphic profile as obtained from Easy MASW 19 December
15 Cross Hole Survey Polarity of Particle Motion Identification of P- and S-waves based on polarity reversal of particle vibration Identification based on the basis of the polarity comparison Direction of particle motion changes for S-wave propagation subjected to upstrikes and downstrikes Upstrike- impact energy generated by pulling the striker. Downstrike- impact energy generated by release of the striker 19 December
16 Results and Discussions
17 3D and 2D Dispersion Image Space Typical 3D dispersion image as obtained in the case of sampling frequency Hz Typical 2D dispersion image as obtained in the case of sampling frequency Hz 19 December

22 CROSS-HOLE SURVEY Picking up of P- and S-wave first arrival Polarity reversal concept to identify SH wave arrival Energy jump concept to determine P wave arrival P- and S-wave velocity profiles obtained within the depth of 5m from Cross-Hole survey 19 December
23 Velocity profiles from MASW and CH surveys Shear wave velocity profile from MASW Survey Polarity reversal concept to identify SH wave arrival Energy jump concept to determine P wave arrival Shallow depth information not obtained due to chosen optimization bounds Can be chosen in thin layers to get shallow surface information Shear wave velocity profile from cross-hole survey Provided shallow surface information for this study 19 December
24 CONCLUSION Subsurface investigation of stratigraphic profile at IIT Guwahati in terms of shear wave velocity profiles Active MASW surveys Choice of sampling frequency affects the resolution of dispersion image space Sampling frequencies lesser than twice the Nyquist frequency fails to provide reasonable dispersion image Identification of range of possible shear wave profiles Shallow depth shear wave profile not obtained due to optimization bounds Cross Hole surveys Arrival of P- and S-wave velocities are identified through Polarity reversal and Energy shift approaches Identification of shallow depth shear wave profile 19 December
