1-DIMENSIONAL SHEAR WAVE VELOCITY ANALYSIS OF THE PHASE II SITE, AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA USING MULTI-CHANNEL ANALYSIS OF SURFACE WAVES
Keywords:
Dispersion Spectrum, Fundamental Mode, Rayleigh wave, Fourier TransformationAbstract
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is an effective method for near-surface analysis. The method was employed at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (Phase II site) to determine the shear wave velocity of the site. The dispersive characteristics of Rayleigh type of the surface waves was used to infer the shear wave velocity of the site down to 30 m (Vs30). The average Vs30 obtained of the site varies between 236.6 m/s to 294.5 m/s. Therefore, the soil of the site is stiff
