The SASW Workshop focused on exchanging experiences and ideas between universities and industry on the latest developments in site investigation technology, design, and forensic engineering. It served as a knowledge-sharing platform to highlight advancements in civil engineering and related fields.
Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Wave (SASW) is a non-destructive geophysical method used to assess the mechanical properties of soils, concrete, pavements, and tunnels. It involves generating surface waves with a seismic source and recording them using geophones or accelerometers.
By analysing dispersion characteristics, such as phase velocity versus frequency, engineers can estimate shear wave velocity profiles of subsurface materials. This allows assessment of structural conditions without damaging sites—an advantage over traditional destructive testing methods.
The workshop advanced knowledge in civil engineering by facilitating academia–industry exchanges, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and strengthening professional skills. It introduced cutting-edge methods for site investigation and forensics, contributing to safer and more sustainable infrastructure while supporting resilient city planning.
SASW 2024 provided a vital platform for knowledge exchange and innovation in civil engineering. By bridging academia and industry, it promoted research collaboration, fostered professional development, and encouraged sustainable infrastructure practices that benefit both the engineering community and society.
