What is MASW?
MASW, or Multichannel Analysis of Seismic Waves, represents a methodology employed for the measurement of Shear Wave Velocity (Vs), which serves as an elastic constant associated with Young's modulus. This technique is instrumental in assessing the ground's strength, or stiffness, as well as its capacity to bear loads.
Furthermore, MASW is utilized for the delineation of soil strength, obviating the necessity for drilling. This approach facilitates the determination of rock head depth, soil stiffness, and the location of voids.
