ABSTRACT
The unconsolidated sedimets (soils) underlying evanville, Indiana, are an important element contributing to the cities seismic risk. Knowledge of the shear - wave velocity of the unconsolidated sediment column is essential in predicting soil period, amplification potential, liquefaction risk, and other site responses to seismic shaking (AU)
