Lamb waves – excitability and sensitivity
Lowest frequency S1 (Impact Echo resonant frequency): most sensitive to h and VP (or ν)
Low frequency S0 (direct P-wave): most sensitive to VP (or ν)
High frequency A0 and S0 (Rayleigh wave): most sensitive to VS
Low frequency A0: intermediate sensitivity to VS and h

Example quality control stabilised soil
MethodologyNils Ryden, LTH
FEM design gives the required stiffness and strength of the stabilised soil
Lab tests give the required water cement ratio and the relation between strength and wave propagation speed
Seismic field test for quality control of obtained stiffness and strength
Laboratory testingFree-free resonant frequency measurements
