The aim of this study is to use the seismic cross-hole survey in evaluating the injection work to fill the cavities spread in the soil underneath the old foundation of the outer wall of the Al-Abbas holy shrine. A seismic cross-hole survey was conducted for eight profiles, four of these are applied before grouting and four profiles are done after grouting at Al-Imam Musa Al-Kadhum and Al-Imam Sahib Al-Zaman gates. Using the longitudinal and shear wave velocities for different depths ranging from 1 to 15 m. The results of the survey indicate that the soil injection process was successful and effective in filling the cavities. The results of cross- hole survey after the grouting show the percent of variation is 0.7-77 percent for seismic shear wave velocity more than before grouting to variant depths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
