TY - JOUR AU - Anomohanran, Ochuko PY - 2013 TI - Seismic Refraction Method: A Technique for Determining the Thickness of Stratified Substratum JF - American Journal of Applied Sciences VL - 10 IS - 8 DO - 10.3844/ajassp.2013.857.862 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajassp.2013.857.862 AB - The seismic refraction survey is a very important geophysical technique used in the investigation of subsurface characteristics. This is why this study was carried out to emphasize the ability of the seismic refraction method in determining the thickness of stratified layers of soil and rock. The results obtained are generalized expressions that relate travel time, offset distance, velocity and thickness of subsurface layers.
