ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for maximizing the shear wave energy imparted into the soil upon the impacting of a base plate by an impact mass from a seismic generator. A seismic generator is disposed at an angle relative to a line generally perpendicular to the surface to the ground. The angle varies with soil conditions and the angle is determined by locating an accelerometer on the base plate of the generator and observing the horizontal acceleration rate as indicated by the accelerometer. If the acceleration rate exceeds a predetermined value, the anguular disposition of the generator s changed to decrease the angle either manually or automatically until the acceleration rate no longer exceeds a predetermined value.
