Abstract:This paper introduces the physics and analyst of wave propagation in pavement and soils. The study of wave propagation in soils can yield useful results to engineers concerned with resilient characteristics of a particular site, dynamic soils structured interaction (eg. pavements or soils) and earthquake analysis. Types of waves considered here are those resulting from force impulsive and ground penetrating radar. Background of the development in measuring waves in soils beginning in the late 1930's to the present is giving practical and useful applications, which are presented along with equipment necessary to obtain results. Use of wave measuring equipment may expedite soil exploration in the future. (44 p., 18 Fig.)
