Rayleigh Wave discussion
Rayleigh Wave discussion
(OP)
anyone here learned in Rayleigh waves?
in particular, i'm interested in discussing the subject relative to application for evaluating deep foundations. i haven't found much on the subject but am trying to see if there may be possibilities to determine the depth of deep foundations by evaluating the Rayleigh waves. i've actually obtained field data and found some striking similarities to what we know exists. but i may just be trying to see something that doesn't exist. either way, anyone with input on the subject would be greatly appreciated. i would be glad to continue the discussion via email if that is more desirable than on this public board.

once i've had the chance to perform some blind testing and gather the thoughts and opinions of those much more knowledgeable than myself, i'll gladly provide as much detail as i can (or am capable of). i've been told that i'm searching for the holy grail...so the odds are apparently stacked against me.
were you looking for vertical or horizontal planed cavities?
