A borehole-to-borehole audiofrequency seismic system using piezoelectric transducers as active elements has been developed and used to investigate crystalline rocks in Canada. High-quality seismograms have been recorded for transmitter-receiver distances of up to 230 meters. It has been found that both travel times and signal amplitudes provide diagnostic information about rock quality. Two-dimensional images of seismic velocity and transparency distributions between two boreholes, derived from observed arrival times and amplitudes by simple back-projection tomography, reflect lithology and geological structure. The results indicate the potential usefulness of crosshole seismic imaging as a tool for rock mass characterization |
