Nonlinear Soil Response in the Near-Field of a Vibrator Truck: Application to Land Seismic Surveys

The nonlinear behavior of soils can significantly modify the wavelet radiated from vibrator trucks. In this paper, we describe a field experiment designed to measure the nonlinear response of a natural soil formation in the near-field of a vibrator truck. A 267-kN (30-ton) vibrator truck performe...
