SeisImager Surface Wave Analysis

SeisImager/SW is surface wave analysis software that calculates phase velocity and dispersion curves from passive microtremor and active source surface wave data to iteratively model 1D S-wave velocity profiles or 2D cross-sections. It allows combining active and passive source data for high-resolution results over all sampled depths. The software determines S-wave velocity for applications like site classification, foundation engineering, and more. It features a wizard for easy, straightforward data analysis and can supplement active data with passive microtremor recordings.

SeisImager/SW Surface Wave Analysis Software

Passive (microtremor) and active source

surface wave data analysis


Calculates phase velocity and picks dispersion curve
Performs inversion to iteratively seek 1D S-wave velocity
(Vs) curve or 2D Vs cross-section
Allows active and passive source dispersion curves to be
combined for a high-resolution result over all depths sampled
Analysis based on robust methods: frequency domain tau-p,
CMP cross-correlation for active; spatial
autocorrelation for passive
Includes editing and QC functions, velocity modeling

Determine S-wave velocity for a variety


of applications
Vs30/Vs100 site classification
Foundation engineering
Void detection
In-fill and landfill investigation
Stratigraphic and litho logic studies
Deeper surveys of geologic structure

Wizard-driven operation for easy,


straight-forward data analysis
Surface waves are easy to record and loaded with information about
the subsurface. With SeisImager/SW, data processing is simple,
putting the answers you seek at your fingertips.
SeisImager/SW includes both active source and passive source data
analysis capability. The higher frequency data from a sledgehammer
source that travels through shallower depths can be combined with
lower frequency data from microtremors that travel through greater
depths. Combine the results for one high-resolution plot of S-wave
velocity.
Upon launching the software, a wizard walks you through the data
analysis. SeisImager/SW includes default parameters that are suitable
for most cases, but are fully user-adjustable as needed.
SeisImager/SW is now available for purchase separately or as an
option with the ES-3000, Geode, and StrataVisor NZ seismographs.
The software comes standard with the specialized, low-priced ESSW 16- channel seismograph package tailored for IBC Vs100
surveys.

SeisImager/SW Surface Wave Analysis Software


In addition to the main functions used to determine Vs,
SeisImager/SW also allows the user to build models and examine
the effects of velocity variations. Borehole data such as P-wave
velocities and blow counts (N-values) can also be correlated.
For 1D active source data, take one or two off-end shots with a
sledgehammer. In noisier environments, you can also stack
multiple shots for increased signal-to-noise ratio.
For 2D active source data, shoot through a fixed spread, roll via
software or a roll box, or use a land streamer to collect a series of
shots over the length of the survey line.
To supplement active source data, passive source microtremor data
is collected by manually triggering the seismograph to record 20
records of 32 seconds each.
SeisImager/SW is available for purchase separately or as an option
with the ES-3000, Geode, and StrataVisor NZ seismographs.
The 1D version comes standard with the specialized, low-priced
ES-SW 16-channel seismograph package tailored for
IBC Vs100 surveys.
