Popis:	Nonintrusive Rayleigh wave investigation using the Spectral‐Analysis‐of‐Surface‐Waves (SASW) technique is a powerful tool for characterization of waste disposal sites in a broad range of waste materials. Applications of SASW surveys for site characterization at waste fills include determination of stiffness parameter profiles for the waste mass, evaluation of cover thickness, location of native ground interface and quantitative monitoring of improvement techniques. SASW surveys at five waste fills in Belgium composed of municipal waste, (dredged) sludge, cinders or slags demonstrate the potential applications of SASW and provide insight into typical shear wave velocity profiles for treated and untreated waste materials. Shear waves and SASW estimation of shear waves are proving to be valuable geotechnical assessment data and this paper highlights some important areas wherein the technique can be used successfully.
