    This document provides instructions for a seismic surveying homework assignment due on February 28, 2007. It includes 4 problems asking students to calculate: (1) P and S wave speeds using travel times between a hammer strike and detector, (2) depth to a horizontal interface using P wave travel times, (3) depth to an interface using travel time data in a table, and (4) depth to an interface using travel time vs distance graph data.

    Homework Assignment

    Seismic Surveying (Problems taken from Computational Engineering Geology, by E. Derringh, 1998) Due Wednesday February 28, 2007
    1. When one face of a slab is struck with a hammer, a detector at the opposite face 0.85 m away receives waves 230 s and 425 s later. Find the speeds of (a) the S waves, (b) the P waves in this rock. 2. Explorers are conducting a seismic reflection survey in a region in which a horizontal interface between two rock types is known to exist at some depth h. A geophone 186 m from the shot point receives P waves 62.0 ms and 87.7 ms after detonation. Find the depth to the interface. 3. A seismic survey yields the results shown below. Travel times are in ms and distances in meters. Find the depth to the horizontal interface.

    4. A seismic refraction survey results in data fitting the lines shown on the graph below. Find the depth to the horizontal interface.
