The preferred method of SASW testing uses a continuous harmonic-wave source produced by a low-frequency computer-controlled electromechanical shaker (device at right) and multi-sensor linear seismometer arrays (2-sensors on the left). This site is 600-PS11, at Trans Alaska Pipeline, Alyeska Pump Station 11, Glennallen, Alaska.

Delicate Arch

The world-famous Delicate Arch was formed by the movement of underground salt beds beneath overlying sandstone, in concert with surface events including water, ice, and erosion, which washed away or broke off the sandstone to create the arches and fins found throughout Arches National Park.
