Abstract
The Passive Roadside MASW has become a feasible alternative for constructing relatively deep<br>shear wave velocity profiles. We present a case study that uses a portable rubber cable protector as a<br>source, producing very low-frequency impulses as it is struck by vehicles. A linear receiver array was<br>laid out perpendicular to the road with the first geophone 100 meters away from the road.
