This book accents the key facets associated with surface wave testing for near-surface site characterization. It clearly outlines the basic principles, the theoretical framework and the practical implementation of surface wave analysis. In addition, it also describes in detail the equipment and measuring devices, acquisition techniques, signal processing, forward and inverse modeling theories, and testing protocols that form the basis of modern surface wave techniques. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview Examples of Typical Applications for This Geophysical Technique\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into eight chapters, the book explains surface wave testing principles from data measurement to interpretation. It effectively integrates several examples and case studies illustrating how different ground conditions and geological settings may influence the interpretation of data measurements. The authors accurately describe each phase of testing in addition to the guidelines for correctly performing and interpreting results. They present variants of the test within a consistent framework to facilitate comparisons, and include an in-depth discussion of the uncertainties arising at each stage of surface wave testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of all the steps involved in surface wave testing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses surface wave methods and their applications in various geotechnical conditions and geological settings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains how surface wave measurements can be used to estimate both stiffness and dissipative properties of the ground\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses the issue of uncertainty, which is often an overlooked problem in surface wave testing \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes examples with comparative analysis using different processing techniques and inversion algorithms \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines advanced applications of surface wave testing such as joint inversion, underwater investigation, and Love wave analysis \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for geotechnical engineers, engineering seismologists, geophysicists, and researchers, \u003cstrong\u003eSurface Wave Methods for Near-Surface Site Characterization offers practical guidance, and \u003c\/strong\u003epresents a thorough understanding of the basic concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Sebastiano Foti\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor in geotechnical engineering at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy.
