Hunter and H.L. Crow (editors). [Ottawa] : Natural Resources Canada, c2015. 226 p. : col. ill., col. maps Earth Science Sector, general information product ; 110e Issued also in French under title: Lignes directrices sur la mesure de la vitesse des ondes de cisaillement pour la caractérisation sismique de sites canadiens dans le sol et la roche. Includes bibliographical references. In 2012/13, Natural Resources Canada released a multi-volume series of Canadian geohazard-related guidelines for geoprofessionals. One of these volumes addresses technical and non-technical topics specific to the measurement of shear wave velocities (Vs) for the assignment of seismic site categories, compliant with the 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). The volume covers the theory and limitations of 13 current and emerging Vs measurement techniques, and includes key references, current states of engineering practice, data collection procedures and processing techniques, and recommended reporting requirements for each method. Guidance is also provided on complimentary geophysical techniques for subsurface site reconnaissance. We anticipate that these Guidelines will be widely used by geophysicists, geotechnical engineers, municipal building code departments, and others who are involved in seismic site classification following the 2010 NBCC. gccst Earthquakes gccst Geophysics gccst Seismology gccst Surficial geology Hunter, J.
