Description

Our final goal is to provide quantitative information on subsurface S-wave velocity structures in response to a variety of social needs regarding geological and soil matters. Since S-wave velocity is a physical property directly related to site amplification and ground stiffness, it is expected to contribute to, for example, improving accuracy of seismic zoning for the mitigation of earthquake disasters. Currently, we are constructing a system for observation and analysis of microtremors to explore S-wave velocities within the depth range from several to tens of meters on the basis of 15-minute observations with a miniature seismic array having a radius of 0.6 m. The simplicity and objectivity of our system affords automization and quality control, with an expected capacity to acquire large amounts of microtremor data.
