| Abstract | Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) is one of the popular geotechnical/ geophysical tools that can be utilised to evaluate the subsurface layers in terms of shear wave velocity. Currently, this technique is widely applied in the field of civil engineering. The MASW method effectively maps the fractures, lineaments, contacts, faults, subsidence, weak zones, voids, weathered zones, and shallow basement up to the depth of <50m in terms of shear wave velocity. The present study emphasises the importance of this technique during the implementation of various major civil engineering projects and earthquake resilience studies. |
