Estimation of Vs profile using its natural frequency and Rayleigh-wave dispersion characteristics
Department of Architecture and Environment Systems, Akita Prefectural University, Yuri-Honjo, 015-0055 Akita, Japan
Abstract. The evaluation of the natural frequency of random Vs profiles before analyzing the fundamental Rayleigh-wave dispersion characteristics is proposed in this paper. The inclusion of this parameter optimizes the effectiveness of random inverse searching to estimate Vs profiles. To demonstrate this method, a numerical test was performed using the "experimental" Rayleigh-wave dispersion curve obtained for a fictitious TEST site.
