Notes:
Well–to-well seismic measurements are adapted to civil engineering problems by use of a sparker as a source of seismic signals and an 80 kHz hydrophone as a receiver. For display a Tektronix 549 oscilloscope is used.Field application shows that the delineation of interfaces between homogeneous strata and the detection and delineation of localized and irregular features is possible from inter-well travel times. In-situ measurement of the compressional wave velocity in a medium is often complicated by refraction and wave guide effects. The degree of fracturing cannot be estimated from travel time measurements alone in a tightly jointed, saturated, rock mass, but it may be possible to correlate variations in pulse shape and length with this parameter.
