Tests and analyses of shearing wave velocity in the Xi’an earth fissure deforming belt

Supported by the Xi’an Metro Line-2 Project,the shear wave velocity tests were carried out initially in the earth fissure deforming belt.The test results show that the distribution of shear wave velocities is related to the distance from the center of the earth fissure,that is,the nearer the distance to the center,the lower the velocity in the strata.The width of the deforming belt can be determined with the distribution of the velocities.The results of the test coincide with the standard of the...
