Abstract

In case when the upper part of the medium has complex geological structure and geodynamic processes occur in it, the necessity of these data increases in projecting of the object under construction. Purpose. Studying of acoustic, elastic and anisotropic properties of the upper part of section of complicatedly constructed geological media. Methodology. Seismic observations are conducted in shallow wells in the areas of construction objects located in various seismogeological conditions by NSCW (Near-Surface Cross Well testing) method. Field seismic records are processed. Kinematic and dynamic parameters of pressure and differently polarized shear waves are determined. Thin-layered one-dimensional models of physical properties of the medium are created and interpreted on the basis of nonlinear theory of elastodynamics. Results. It is determined that the medium with high porous, water saturated rocks and anomalous high reservoir pressure has anomalous low value of velocities and gradient of their increase with depth. When this medium was re-examined after deep piles were built there, the overestimated seismic velocities are obtained, which is explained by a decrease in the section of anomalously high reservoir pressure and, accordingly, the porosity of the rocks after piles were built. When the hollowness is increased in unsaturated pebble rocks, the negative value of Poisson's ratio is obtained on the standard method. Seismic anisotropy related with the direction of the grains packing of the rocks is revealed on velocities of shear waves. The change of property of rocks on depth is manifested clearer on frequencies of waves than on their amplitudes. Scientific novelty. The elasticity moduli of the 3rd order are determined which are more sensible to variability of nonlinear elastic properties of rocks of the medium than the moduli of the 2nd order. The values of Poisson's ratio are recalculated for one and the same rocks located in different conditions of rock pressure on the basis of nonclassical theory of deformation. Practical importance. The obtained results can be applied to study the media characterized by complex seismogeological hydrodynamic conditions with clay-sandy rocks of high porosity and water saturation.
