Measurements of Low-Frequency Acoustic Attenuation in Soils.

Abstract

A sample of a subsoil of the Pleasanton series was excavated and brought to the laboratory, where acoustic measurements were made over a frequency range from 0.5 to 10 kHz an under three conditions: dry (the original condition of the soil in its natural environment), partially saturated, and fully saturated. Additionally, measurements in the fully saturated soil were made at two different levels of compaction, or density.
