What is the purpose by using seismic instrument?

The engineering seismic instrument, is a crucial tool used in geotechnical investigations and exploration.  It serves the following purposes:

Seismic Imaging: 

The seismic geophone helps in mapping subsurface geological structures by detecting and recording seismic waves.  

Site Characterization: 

By analyzing the seismic data collected by the geophone, engineers can determine the physical properties of the subsurface layers.

Seismic Hazard Assessment: 

Seismic geophones play a crucial role in assessing the seismic hazard potential of a given area.  

Foundation Design: 

The data obtained from seismic geophones aids in designing safe and resilient foundations for structures.  

Environmental Studies:

 Seismic geophones are also used in environmental studies to investigate underground water resources, geological formations, and potential contamination.
