Seismic Refraction Lines
(TRS)

This technique of geophysical exploration, is based on the propagation of acoustic waves (earthquake) in the subsoil, by exciting the ground by means of an impact, a small amount of energy which is recorded by a computer call is released in the soil seismograph, basically what is recorded in this team is the time it takes to reach the seismic waves from the impact point at the end of lines.

Applications of this technique are varied, but the most important are: definition of wave propagation velocities P (Compression) and S wave (Cut), through which the elastic moduli of soil behavior are obtained very useful in the design of structures; Also by this technique and ripabilidad arability degrees are obtained, which define the degree of difficulty that earthworks on land, etc. will be held.
