• Engineering geology
• Shallow faults
• Mapping Quaternary deposits
• Ground investigation for pipe and sewerage

Trang 3Applications for Refraction
seismic
• Depth of groundwater level
• Depth and location of hardrock
• Elastic medium parameters
• Permafrost
• Glaciology
Trang 4Refraction seismic
• Refracted Waves
• Mainly horizontal Wave propagation
• Only refracted waves are used (Lower layer must have higher velocity than upper layer)
• Distribution of velocity as well as the depth and
orientation of interfaces between layers
Reflection seismic
• Reflected Waves (“Echo lot principal”)
• Mainly vertical wave propagation
• Complete seismic recording is used
• Distribution of the velocity variation

To find the depth to bedrock in
a dam-site survey, traveltimes
were measured from the
shot-point to 12 geophones laid out
on a straight line through the
shotpoint The offsets x range
from 15 to 180 m
Determine the depth of
overburden from the data
in the Table
