Ambient seismic noise tomography to build up a 3D shear-wave velocity model

Ingeniería Investigación y Tecnología (2021)

Martín Cárdenas‐Soto José Piña‐Flores David Escobedo‐Zenil Jesús Sánchez-Gónzalez Jose Antonio Martinez-Gonzalez

To explore the usefulness of the ambient seismic noise tomography method for characterizing the subsoil surface structure, in this study, we apply this method to contribute to geotechnical decision-making in the construction of a school building. We used a rectangular array (36x56 m) of 48-4.5 Hz vertical geophones and produce surface wave tomographies from the travel times of Rayleigh waves extracted by cross-correlation of seismic noise. We determined a final 3D Vs model using 1D models derived from the inversion of dispersion curves obtained from the tomography maps for different frequencies. The 3D model shows an excellent resolution (vertical and lateral); we observe critical velocity contrasts in the range of 2 to 15 m deep. At depths higher than 15 m, the velocity has values close to 900 m/s; however, we observe a low-velocity anomaly associated with a lava tube or crack that seems to continue under an adjacent building.

ANALYSIS OF SURFACE WAVES RECORDED AT A MASS MOVEMENT IN BRASÍLIA, BRAZIL: AN IMPLICATION IN HAZARD MITIGATION

Geociências (2018)

Yawar Hussain Hernán Martínez-Carvajal Martín Cárdenas‐Soto Rogério Uagoda

Ever increasing urbanization over the thick and less cohesive soil of the Federal District (DF), Brazil has increased area's vulnerability to natural hazards, especially the soil erosion and mass movement. This preliminarily study applied noise based geophysical techniques like power spectral density (PSD), horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR), multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and noise interferometry to a mass movement in Brasilia for the understating of geodynamic processes working in the background of these hazards. Here obtained results show a uniform stratigraphic peak at 2 Hz observed on all HVSR curves, a four layered shear wave section was obtained by MASW. Dispersion curve (frequency vs phase velocity) shows first and second fundamental modes at frequencies of 5 and 25 Hz, respectively. Noise correlograms show time delay larger than +- 0.5 sec on the waveforms of ZR (vertical-radial) component, mainly in acausal part. Relative velocity changes calculated by stretching technique show anomalous trends in response to rainfall events. Follow research will focus on the detection of possible changes in noise records within mass movement mainly related to natural triggering factors (rainfall and river erosion) under more controlled data conditions.

A combination of seismic refraction and ambient noise methods to detect landslide-prone materials

Geofísica Internacional (2024)

Martín Cárdenas‐Soto Jesús Sánchez-Gónzalez José Antonio Martínez-González David Escobedo‐Zenil Gerardo Cifuentes‐Nava

A portion of the west of Mexico City is densely populated in an abrupt topography, whose volcano-sedimentary materials increase the likelihood of landslides. We exploited the geometry of a quadrangular geophones array to apply Seismic Refraction Tomography (SRT) and Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) methods and explore the extent of landslide-prone materials. The results show low-velocity areas (Vs < 100 m/s, being Vs group velocities) associated with materials that have lost their resistance due to the increase in pore pressure and the places where eventually, more landslides will occur (120 < Vs < 200 m/s) if mitigation work is not carried out. The most stable zones correspond to materials with velocity values greater than 250 m/s that overlap a bedrock at an average depth of 8 m. Thus, when it is not advisable to perform active source experiments, ANT can provide practical results to determine the extension of the sliding materials.

Characterization of Sobradinho landslide in fluvial valley using MASW and ERT methods

REM - International Engineering Journal (2020)

Yawar Hussain Omar Hamza Martín Cárdenas‐Soto Welitom Rodrigues Borges Jie Dou

Landslides can substantially impact the fluvial systems, which is why the continuous mapping of their extent, evolution and stability assessment is crucial. However, in such environments, material identification (e.g. colluvium) and subsurface characterization by the methods used for geologic mapping and geotechnical investigation is often a challenging task. Thus, these classical invasive methods may benefit from geophysical techniques to enable and enhance our understanding of the subsurface in these areas. To examine such integrated approach, Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) combined with Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) were applied on a geomorphologically active fluvial valley in Sobradinho (the Federal District of Brazil). The subsurface materials showed a specific range of resistivity values as dry soil, saprolite, and landslide slip surface. The 1D shear wave velocity (Vs) model showed an increasing trend of Vs with depth at a location away from the landslide mass, while the longitudinal profile (over the landslide) showed an anomalous change in Vs (~ 250 to 400 m/sec). Based on the existing information about the landslide, the ERT appeared to be an effective method over MASW. This study shows how the integration of geophysical data with the geological and geotechnical investigation helps to obtain a more realistic or unambiguous model of the subsurface.

Obtención de propiedades físicas del suelo del Valle de México mediante interferometría sísmica

Andrés Pech Pérez Carlos O. Jiménez González Martín Cárdenas‐Soto

En este trabajo, se usa la tecnica conocida como interferometria sismica para caracterizar la respuesta sismica de los sitios donde se ubican las estaciones: Chapultepec, Kennedy y Roma. La estimacion de parametros se efectuo mediante la deconvolucion de eventos sismicos. Para interpretar los registros deconvolucionados, se utilizo un modelo de un medio estratificado compuesto por estratos elasticos, isotropos y homogeneos. En este modelo se considero la incidencia vertical de ondas planas SH. De los registros deconvolucionados, se obtuvieron velocidades de propagacion de ondas S. Con estos parametros fue posible caracterizar los sitios donde se ubican las estaciones: Chapultepec, Kennedy y Roma. En los registros deconvolucionados, se observaron variaciones en amplitudes y tiempos de arribo en funcion del evento sismico; esto sugiere que es posible identificar cambios en las propiedades fisicas del suelo del Valle de Mexico mediante interferometria sismica

Unveiling Ancient Constructive Phases With Integrated Geophysical Prospection in the Group of the Columns, Mitla, Oaxaca

Archaeological Prospection (2024)

Denisse L. Argote Gerardo Cifuentes‐Nava Andrés Tejero‐Andrade Martín Cárdenas‐Soto Leobardo Pacheco‐Arias

ABSTRACT The archaeological zone of Mitla has an invaluable place within the Mexican cultural heritage. This pre‐Hispanic city concentrated the political and religious power of the central valleys of Oaxaca, south of Mexico, mainly during the Postclassic period. However, despite its great cultural importance and considering the risk to its monuments due to the high seismicity of the region, very few studies have focused on the systematic exploration of the subsoil of this area. The present research aimed to characterize the subsoil of one of the architectural compounds of the archaeological zone, the Group of the Columns, aiming to identify possible underground elements such as architectural structures, tunnels or tombs. For that purpose, three non‐invasive geophysical methods were applied, ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ambient noise tomography (ANT). In the palace, all three methods showed the presence of a substructure below the Hall of the Columns. In the Plaza of the Columns, the GPR detected anthropogenic walls and platforms at different depths that suggest a different configuration of the square and a more prolonged occupation of this group. The results open the discussion about the temporality of the first construction of this architectural group.
