The marine refraction method can map the bedrock depth in areas not accessible by drilling platforms, whether due to safety, logistical or environmental issues. The refraction method involves measuring the shortest time required for an induced seismic pulse to travel .
Seismic refraction maps contrasts in seismic velocity – the speed at which seismic energy travels through soil and rock. This parameter typically correlates well with rock hardness and density, which in turn tend to correlate with changes in lithology, degree of fracturing, water content, and weathering.
High resolution seismic refraction tomography has proved to be a useful tool to effectively estimate depth of blast induced damage in a mine face. Excavation blast damage can be as shallow as 1 to 2 m and requires resolution at a fraction of a meter for effective imaging. In this study, an ...
Seismic Refraction. The seismic refraction method is based on the measurement of the travel time of seismic waves refracted at the interfaces between subsurface layers of different velocity. Seismic energy is provided by a source (''shot'') located on the surface. For shallow applications this normally comprises a hammer and plate, weight drop or ...
The seismic refraction method utilizes seismic waves travelling through different parts of the subsurface. A seismic source is used to generate compressional waves, which is measured by a seismograph and a series of evenly spaced sensors (typically 12, 24, .
Reflection seismology, seismic refraction, seismic tomography, 2D, 3D seismic to survey for deposits from 500 to 2000 m depth below the reach of conventional geophysical techniques are expensive (50000–70000 per sq. km), but the right tool for areas which have mining infrastructure.

Seismic refraction methods have been extensively used in petroleum, mineral, and engineering investi gations, and to some extent for hydrologic applications, during the past 30 years. Recent advances in equipment, sound sources, and computer interpretation techniques make seismic refraction methods highly effective and ...
The seismic method is divided into reflection and refraction techniques, based on whether or not a wave undergoes a reflection at the extent of its travel. Thus, while most refracted events have not been reflected, most reflected events have been refracted, because a refraction occurs across any velocity interface in accordance with the simple ...
Seismic reflection is ideal for mapping geology at depths exceeding 50 m. Deep seismic reflection surveying is the most advanced technique in geophysics today, thanks to its application on a huge scale for oil and gas exploration.

The seismic refraction method utilizes seismic waves travelling through different parts of the subsurface. A seismic source is used to generate compressional waves, which is measured by a seismograph and a series of evenly spaced sensors (typically 12, 24, 48 or more geophones).
Seismic Refraction. Seismic refraction is one of the more commonly used seismic methods and has many applications. In geotechnical engineering and mining applications, we have used this technique to determine depth to bedrock and rippability of for design and cost estimates. Groundwater applications include mapping bedrock channels, identifying fault and fracture zones, water table mapping ...
Seismic refraction and seismic tomography proved as valuable method for geological and structural reconstructions of the open pit and rockslide that are necessary preconditions for the rockslide movement prediction and suggestions of the effective landslide control.
Earth exploration Earth exploration Seismic refraction methods: Seismic methods are based on measurements of the time interval between initiation of a seismic (elastic) wave and its arrival at detectors. The seismic wave may be generated by an explosion, a dropped weight, a mechanical vibrator, a bubble of highpressure air injected into water, or other sources.

Seismic methods are ideally suited for investigating layered media; the seismic refraction, seismic reflection, and surface wave methods can be tailored to a variety of applications. Seismic surveys measure acoustic velocity (the speed at which sound waves propagate) in earth materials.
The seismic refraction method, due to its versatility, is one of the most commonly used geophysical methods in engineering, mining, groundwater exploration and environmental site investigations. Based on favourable density contrasts that generally exist between geological materials, the refraction method is utilised to provide detailed ...

Seismic Reflection. Seismic reflection uses field equipment similar to seismic refraction, but field and data processing procedures are employed to maximize the energy reflected along near vertical ray paths by subsurface density contrasts (see Seismic Refraction Geometry below).
Seismic refraction is a geophysical method used for investigating subsurface ground conditions by utilising surfacesourced seismic waves. Data acquired on site is computer processed and interpreted to produce models of the seismic velocity and layer thickness of the subsurface ground structure.
TDEM soundings are used in areas where local infrastructure make it unfeasible to lay out long seismic or resistivity cables.
