Geophysical Methods
• Non-destructive, remote investigation methods
• Various types of surveys
• Seismic (Acoustic, ultrasonic) Today’s talk: only seismic (passive)
• Electric, Electromagnetic, GPR
• Gravity, Temperature etc.
• Subsurface imaging, distribution of subsurface properties. Airborne survey
• Measurement from ground surface, in the sky, under the sea etc.
Subsurface imaging by seismic Subsurface property distribution Cavity, pipe detection by GPR
Vibration sources Weight dropping Vibration from natural & artificial sources.

Why is the S-wave velocity important?
S-wave velocity has a strong correlation to N-value
S-wave velocity is defined by (empirical relationship)
G: Shear modulus,
r: bulk density
Simply speaking,
soft/loose soil has low Vs,
stiff/tight soil has high Vs.

Measurement in Urban Area (3D)
Applicability of the 3D microtremor exploration in an urban area was evaluated at MM21 in
Yokohama city.

Receiver Positions for Small Array (Planed)
• Receiver spacing is 10 m.
• 50 receivers are placed along the
accessible roads as linear and L-
shape arrays.
• Total 24 array measurements
1000m were carried out to cover the
survey lines.
