Application of Full-Wave Seismic Modeling at Engineering Researches

Abstract

Summary In this paper, we discussed some examples of full-wave seismic modeling application in geophysical engineering studies. The effectiveness of the MASW method for S-wave velocity estimation is tested on the basis of modeling. The effectiveness of full-wave modelling in investigating the integrity of the foundation wall beneath a high-altitude dam is also considered. Finally is discussed the application of full-wave modeling to determine the seismic effect before and after water injection into the aquifer. As a result of reviewing examples of the application of full-wave modeling, conclusions are drawn about the effectiveness of seismic modeling in solving engineering problems.
