Student Involvement | Equipment will be used to collect reflection, refraction, cross-borehole and seismic tomography and SASW data in support of externally-funded research. |
| |
Project Objective | The engineering seismograph will be used for research and teaching purposes. |
| |
Project Abstract | The engineering seismograph will be used to collect reflection, refraction, cross-borehole and seismic tomography and SASW data in support of externally-funded research. These data will be acquired mostly in support of geotechnical and structural characterization studies. |
