Abstract
This paper presents a method of estimating the elastic properties of the soils and their variation with depth using the characteristics of P-SV wave fields caused in the surface of an elastic multi-layered half space by the vertical harmonic point load applied also on the soil surface. To demonstrate the capability of the proposed method, the two numerical examples are presented, for the estimation of S wave velocity, P wave velocity and thickness of each soil layer, using a three-layered half space and a five-layered half space. In the numerical examples, the stiffness matrix method is used for an accurate simulation of all P-SV wave fields.
