Determination of In-situ Rock Density and Strength with SH-Love Wave Tomography
The objective of this proposed work is to develop an advanced testing system (hardware and data reduction methodology) for determination of rock density and strength. The system will enable to provide both density and strength at relevant resolutions (6-inch to foot pixels) for entire rock volume supporting foundations without requirement of borings. The analysis module (data reduction tool) will be transferred to FDOT, who owns the module for future uses in site investigations of soil/rock properties and stratigraphy.
