Abstrakt: Abstract: Rayleigh waves in the period range 0.2 - 3.0 s from eight quarry blasts are analyzed to obtain S-wave velocity model beneath the Příbram seven-station array in the Czech Republic. Locations and origin times of blasts are estimated using P- and S-wave onsets and then verified at the quarry in the vicinity of the location. This blind test confirms a sufficient precision of the location procedure for identification of quarries. Epicentral distances are in the range from 16 to 52 km. Group velocity dispersion curves of Rayleigh waves are determined by the frequency-time analysis. An average group velocity beneath the array for each period is computed with the help of mean travel-time curve for all blasts and stations. The resultant group velocity dispersion curve is inverted to obtain a 1-D S-wave velocity model using the Isometric method. The results are compared with known geological structure in the area of interest.
