Abstract

A big shot experiment was carried out in the Mygdonia basin during the project "EUROSEISTEST VOLVI-THESSALONIKI, a European test site for Engineering Seismology, Earthquake and Seismology". This experiment was realised by using an explosion of 75 kg of explosives placed at 20 m depth. The aim of the explosion was to investigate the geometry and the $V_S$ profile across the valley, between the villages Profitis and Stivos which are laid between the lakes Koronia (Lagada) and Volvi in Northern Greece. The records of Rayleigh waves as they were generated by the big shot and recorded on the vertical components of the portable stations which were installed in Mygdonia basin, were analysed in order to obtain the group velocity dispersion curves corresponding to propagation paths between the shot point and the recording stations. Furthermore, these dispersion curves were inverted to determine the shear wave velocity models along the propagation paths by using linear pproach.
