OVERVIEW ;

PS Logging also known as elastic wave velocity logging, which is one way of
seismic exploration, geophysical logging techniques is also an important
branch, has been widely used in water conservancy and hydropower
engineering, petroleum engineering, railway engineering, metallurgical
engineering, industrial geotechnical and civil engineering geological
investigation and many other areas of the application has achieved good
results.
In general, PS logging can be measured in situ compression wave (Pressure
Wave) and shear waves (Shear Wave) in the rock (soil) in the propagation
velocity of the body, thus avoiding the error caused by indoor tests, it can
effectively to solve many geological problems, such as soil type determine the
site, construction site classification; to provide fault fracture zone, strata
thickness, degree of consolidation of features and soft and hard to evaluate
rock (soil) body mass, etc.; can calculate kinetic parameters works, such as
the dynamic shear modulus, dynamic modulus of elasticity. This article
describes the working principle of the PS logging and field testing methods,
combined with engineering examples to illustrate the effect of its application.
Wrong with that, please criticize the correction.

Work :
To rock (soil) is characterized by elastic body, through the determination of
the different rock (soil) layer of the shear wave (S wave), compression wave
(P wave) velocity, calculate rock (soil) body dynamic elastic parameters,
determined that the rock (soil) body in nature, for engineering design to
provide reliable scientific basis.
Measured generally use the single-hole inspection layer method, that is, on
the ground excitation to generate elastic waves, holes from the detector to
receive elastic waves. Local surface source can be pros and cons of using
call-in boards to stimulate and produce shear wave (S wave), the use of
shear-wave difference between the 1800 earthquake to identify the
characteristics of S-wave first-arrival times. Figure 1 shows the pros and
cons to the excited by the seismograph records the measured waveforms.
 Test method :
Measured by the seismic source and recording devices are usually composed
of a general from the source to set aperture 2 ~ 4m, a flat wooden ballast, test
holes should be located in the vertical axis on the wood, so wood working
closely with the ground contact. Wood length 2.5 ~ 3.0m, width 0.3 ~ 0.4m,
thickness 0.06 ~ 0.10m, the pressure is about 500 ~ 1000kg in weight. When
the wood ends, respectively, when the level of percussion to produce elastic
waves (this time with S-wave-based). Recording instruments from the three-
component borehole seismograph detector and engineering structure, three-
component detector placed on wells of a depth, the receiver elastic waves
generated by the source signal and transmission through the connecting
cable to the seismograph, and then by the seismometer to record and store
with Preparation of post-data processing purposes, Figure 2 for the single-
hole inspection test diagram layer method.

Single-hole inspection layer method of elastic wave test, because of source

plates are still some distance away from the orifice, so the calculation the
mainland section layer velocity measurements will be flexible when you need
to wave-of-line Travel time correction for the vertical measuring line of travel,
the calculation formula are as follows:

Where: t'-vertical measuring line trip (s); t-trip time-of-line (s);

h-measuring point hole depth (m); x-focal plate distance away from the
orifice (m).
