The paper presents the processed results of Plate Load Tests and of Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves for dispersive and semi-rocky soils at the sites with different soil conditions located in the Perm Region, Russian Federation. Unit weight and deformation modulus were calculated from the obtained data. The value of the data lies in their applicability for the prompt preliminary assessment of the site geotechnical situation.

Modern non-destructive techniques of wave analysis can be applied for the express preliminary geotechnical soil assessment. One of them is Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) which allows obtaining velocities profile of shear waves and the initial shear modulus for the upper section promptly and at minimal labour costs. However, the soil deformation properties assessment requires the deformation modulus that is obtained by the direct technique of plate load test (PLT). The purpose of the study is to assess the correlation between the PLT deformation modulus and the initial shear modulus determined with MASW.
