Arrays • 20 lines total • 1-6 on West side of highway, following most visible fault trace • 7-12 on East side of highway, where scarp was less apparent • 13-20 perpendicular to the proposed fault
Results • Shear velocities at 30m depth change across the fault • Arrays on the Southwest side appear to show lower velocities than those on the NE side • Especially true when fault is visible on the surface • Differences in velocities become smaller the farther Southeast the arrays are set • Correlates with where fault becomes less apparent • Low velocity zone is apparent between the vegetation lineament and projected fault trace
Limitations • Depth calculations allow for increased error as the angle of the dip of the layers departs from zero • Impossible to detect some geologic boundaries because of no field-measureable seismic shear-velocity contrast • Geophone placement and leveling • Inconsistency in picking pf plots
