The straight-line correlation between plaque load experiments and seismic velocities (V-P and V-S) has shown that compaction is sufficient when both the V-P and V-S values exceed 590m/s and 379rn/s, respectively. In addition, two-dimensional velocity models for both P- and S-waves map out the level of compaction along the profiles.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBearing Capacity FactorsFoundationFootingsDensityArticle6529930610.3997/1873-0604.2008004Q3WOS:0002598493000042-s2.0-53549133940Q2
