Reliability and Accuracy of Seismic Tests in Geotechnical Site Characterization
Geophysical surveys, and specifically seismic tests, provide powerful tools for geotechnical site
investigation. Indeed, they cover the whole range of soils and rocks, independently of particle size, and
provide data in the natural state for the characterization at different scales. Assessment of the reliability of
the most popular techniques is therefore of primary importance for static and seismic applications. This
chapter reports some data from recent experiments devoted to reliability assessment at some reference
sites, where intra-method and inter-method variability has been studied. The propagation of the measured
uncertainties in soil porosity assessment and seismic ground response analyses is also considered to
provide an insight on the consequences in the practice of geotechnical engineering
