Seismic refraction survey at a dam construction site

Haupt, W. A.

Summary The paper deals with seismic refraction survey as a method forin situ pre-investigation for the Rwegura hydro-electric power plant at Burundi. After a short description and discussion of theoretical relations the performance of the measurements is reported. The presentation of the results includes travel-time curves, comparison with sounding results and discussion of wave velocities. Some cases of negative apparent wave velocity are reported and analysed.
