Abstract

Many seismic field tests were carried for the designed and modified seismic apparatuses using to generate seismic shear waves. These apparatus includes: "wooden plank" horizontal traction shear wave source, and a modified geophone for picking the SH-Wave generated by the above source. A twetha site (SE Baghdad) was choosed to carry out the field tests and the results of seismic horizontal & vertical shear waves (SH & SV - waves ) besides the p-wave were encouraged, which can be used for deriving the designed and elastic parameters of any site selection projects.
