Microtremor Array Measurements (MAM)
GeoPhysi is at the forefront of Microtremor Array Measurements (MAM), a specialized geophysical technique used to assess the subsurface shear wave velocity structure. This method is particularly effective for seismic site characterization, soil classification, and earthquake hazard assessment. MAM is non-invasive and utilizes ambient seismic noise, making it ideal for urban areas where traditional seismic methods may be challenging to implement.
MAM involves deploying an array of sensors on the ground surface to record microtremors—low-amplitude vibrations caused by natural and human activities. By analyzing the dispersion of these surface waves, GeoPhysi can accurately determine the shear wave velocity profile of the subsurface. This information is crucial for understanding the dynamic behavior of soils and rocks, which is essential for designing earthquake-resistant structures and conducting seismic risk assessments.
One of the key advantages of MAM is its ability to provide reliable data in areas with low seismicity or where active seismic sources are impractical. This method is also cost-effective, easy to deploy, and can be conducted without disturbing the site or surrounding activities.
At GeoPhysi, we leverage our expertise and advanced technology to deliver precise and reliable MAM surveys. Our team of geophysicists is dedicated to providing accurate data that supports informed decision-making for engineering and construction projects. We tailor our surveys to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
