Abstract
A review of research indicates that the attenuation of seismic
impulses is a complex function of such factors as moisture, soil thickness,
substrata homogeneity, substrata consistency, and vegetation. The
problem encountered when seismic devices are employed in a tactical
situation is the prediction of ranges of detection for different soil
types without resorting to soil samples, compression tests, etc. A
knowledge of the seismic characteristics or the ranges of detection in
various soil types would be very beneficial when employing seismic
devices. This thesis will show a relationship, useful for prediction,
between the attenuation properties and the range at which a test signal
is first detected at a preset level.
