A Site Characterization of Underground Peat Distribution by means ofSurface Wave Exploration


Abstract
This paper introduces the example of executing the Surface Wave Method to estimate an underground structure in the place where weak stratums such as the peat and the cohesive soils are distributed. The site is an alluvial plain in the Hokkaido northern part. We estimated the situation of the weak stratum by the Surface Wave method. Moreover, it was confirmed that this method was an effective method as the method of supplementing the bore and the sounding.
