Application of Multi-Channel Transient Rayleigh Wave in Geological Exploration

Abstract:

Rayleigh wave exploration has broad application in engineering geological investigation, underground cave detection, highway nondestructive testing, etc. On the basis of introduction about the principle of transient Rayleigh wave exploration, the process of multi-channel transient Rayleigh wave exploration and data processing with an engineering example are stated. Compared to the field drilling histogram, reasonable explanation for the local deviation from the Rayleigh wave exploration result is given. Besides, the advantages and disadvantages of multi-channel transient Rayleigh wave exploration are also discussed, indicating a widely applicability of the Rayleigh wave exploration and some problems that need further research.
