Abstract

Soil requires load bearing impact assessment for stability. Therefore, this study aims to utilize the multi-channel analysis surface wave (MASW) for soil subsurface investigation and profiling around Peninsular Malaysia. The standard penetration test (SPT) was conducted for comparison between factual N-value and computed N-value from shear wave velocity (V_s ) obtained from MASW using the Imai and Tonouchi equation. The correlation coefficient (R) and coefficient of determination, (R² ), showed strong relationship between factual N-value and computed N-value. The model of V_s and factual N-value data distribution is non-normal but the analyzed relationship shows a significant level of p-value < 0.05. The R² for each location of V_s -N-value relationship are ranging from 0.5 to 0.9.
