Abstract

Summary

Challenged by a statement from Terzaghi on the shortcoming of geophysical surveys to be helpful in geotechnical characterization, a systematic development to qualify shear waves as the misssing link is described. The potential of the shear waves for this purpose is the unique relation between effective stress, the grain skeleton, the shear stiffness and the shear velocity. The potential is demonstrated in practice in wellbore log scale and in seismic scale. Examples of the strategic implication for the oil industry are given.
