The characterisation of rock masses from laboratory and field studies of the velocity and attenuation of seismic waves

This thesis addresses the concept of non-destructive rock mass characterisation using in-situ measurements of the velocity and attenuation of seismic waves. The thesis is divided in to two sections, the first of which considers a comprehensive laboratory study of the phenomena of stress-induced velo...
