Abstract

Using various shear-wave seismic methods, the shearwave velocity-depth structure of thick unconsolidated sediments in the Fraser River Delta, British Columbia, is currently being mapped on a reconnaissance scale. The data base provides input parameters for computer modelling of earthquake ground motion amplification response; as well, shallow shear-wave velocity structure can be indicative of regional variations in liquefaction potential during earthquake loading.
