Application of spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method: rock mass characterization

A geotechnical study needs to be carried out to determine the engineering parameters of the
rock mass at the project site in executing construction projects such as tunnels, dams,
highways and buildings. Design and safety factor of the construction are highly dependent
on soil and rock engineering parameters which are usually determined by in-situ test such
as Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and seismic tests.
