Measurement of vibrations caused by vehicular traffic around Charminar, a monument at Hyderabad, was carried out using three component velocity sensors and high-resolution digital seismograph. These measurements were done at different levels viz., ground, middle, top level and at other accessible levels of the structure. Acceleration and displacement were computed from the velocity-time series. Peak particle velocity was found maximum at the top level in the north-south direction.Keywords

Delineation of shear zones and fracture systems in hard rock areas is essential in locating potential groundwater zones. The Mu1tichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is a new developing seismic geophysical technique, which has now been widely used in imaging shallow subsurface, in terms of shear wave velocity. We test its potentiality in Hyderabad granite terrain, at Wailapally watershed, for delineating shear zones and fractures in a shallow granite basement covered with thin weathering and alluvium cover. Surface wave data were obtained at three sites using 24 channel seismograph, and were used to model the shear wave velocity of the subsurface. The study clearly demarcates the bedrock depths, shear zones or faults, fractures, weathering and soi1 covers in the shallow subsurface up to a depth of -30 m, the results are also in good agreement with the surface geological observations. Therefore, the MASW is an excellent geophysical tool that can clearly demarcate the shallow structures favorable for groundwater in hard rock areas.Keywords

Crosshole seismic survey was conducted to decipher the nature of the exposed rock mass in Hussain Sagar Lake at Hyderabad to erect a monolithic Buddha statue weighing about 470 tonnes. The purspose of the survey was to determine the continuity of subsurface conditions between borehole locations. The technique consists of in situ measurements of travel time of the seismic waves generated by an impulse in one borehole, its reception in the other and computation of seismic velocity. Analysis of the velocity data provided necessary information regarding the soundness of the rock mass.Keywords
