elastic soil response
The cross plots at the right represent the elastic soil response for the 6 different soil samples, here denoted A to F, transformed into various elastic domains.
The elastic soil response is calculated based on published values and our experience, with the aim of representing a saturated shallow offshore environment.
It’s important to note that the elastic properties of soils can vary widely depending on a range of factors, such as grain size, sorting, and shape, as well as the specific conditions of the offshore environment being studied.

why is the elastic soil response important?
Understanding the elastic response of different soil types is crucial when analysing seismic signals. By doing so, we can perform a quantitative integrated interpretation and generate synthetic CPT’s and profiles of soil stiffness for direct use in foundation engineering calculations. With knowledge of the elastic response from various soil types, we can go inverse and analyse seismic elastic signals to map soil types. In this way we can get a spatial understanding of the distribution of soil types like sand, clays, glauconite, peat, shallow gas, and more. This methodology was utilised in our work with data for the Energy Island in the North Sea – click here to learn more about that project.
The elastic properties of soils can vary widely depending on numerous factors, so the methodology should be adapted to suit the specific conditions of each study area.
