Has anyone else used MASW to estimate shear wave velocity for site seismic classification? I am using it on a project for the first time and would love to know that I'm not the only one using it...
Thanks for any comments.
The downdrag will be relatively small, less than 1 kip. I'd ignore it. Assuming you are using the ENR formula for pile bearing capacity, you can rely on the fact that this pile has a big factor of safety.
