CORRELATION OF SEISMIC VELOCITIES WITH EARTHWORK FACTORS-- FINAL REPORT (1972)

This study was made to determine whether seismic data can be used to obtain satisfactory design earthwork factors for roadway excavation. The study shows an apparent correlation between seismic velocity and earthwork factor for the three types of rock studied. It presents an objective method of utilizing seismic data to yield design earthwork factors which agree closely with the field earthwork factor.
