Abstract
The Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) method is an in-situ seismic technique for the evaluation and assessment of road pavement. The method is based on the theory of stress waves propagating in elastic media with the key elements being the generation and detection of Rayleigh wave motion. A set of transient impact source with a range of frequencies is used to generate the Rayleigh wave energy that is able to propagate along the surface layer of the pavement. Through two vertical accelerometers, the motion of the wave for each range of frequency is recorded and calculated using a dynamic signal analyzer. A dispersion curve is then constructed from the cross-power spectrum of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) that results in the phase velocity versus wavelength plot. An iterative inversion is then carried out to obtain the shear wave velocity profile with depth and the corresponding dynamic modulus of each pavement units. This paper presents a case study carried out on a new road pavement construction site. It was found that the profile of the dynamic shear and Young’s modulus versus depth obtained from SASW method
