| 1 | This standard deals with various aspects of seismic reflection technique and its applications to shallow subsurface exploration of engineering sites. The primary purpose of the standard is to provide working knowledge of the method, with relevant references, and with a basis to weigh the applicability of the method to various engineering geological problems. In particular, it seeks to provide an understanding of the proper planning of surveys, so as to obtain adequate and relevant coverage and highlight the most important area of interpretation of seismic data. | |
| 2 | The standard was published in 2006 and the first revision of this standard has been brought out based on the technological advancements taken and experiences gained in the use of this standard. The major changes included in this second revision are: a) Addition of seismic refraction tomography along with detailed procedure in Annex A; b) Updating of clause ‘Planning of Survey’; and c) Schematic presentation of seismic refraction tomography | |
