Cavity Detection and Delineation Research. Report 2. Seismic Methodology: Medford Cave Site, Florida.
Abstract
As part of a research program designed to find a quick and economical methodology to detect and delineate cavities, seismic technology was applied to the cavity problem at the Medford Cave site, Florida. Six seismic techniques consisting of surface refraction, constant-spacing, fan-shooting, surface shear-wave, uphole refraction, and crosshole investigations were employed at the site in an effort to detect and delineate cavity features. The results of these tests indicated that the surface refraction, constant-spacing, and crosshole techniques detected and partially delineated cavities. Their degrees of success varied. In summary, the constant-spacing technique is the only surface seismic test procedure recommended for use in cavity detection-delineation and the crosshole P-wave technique is the only subsurface method recommended.
