| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
The Geological Survey of Canada and Carleton University collected shear wave data at 63 seismic sites in the Ottawa suburb of Orleans as part of the Eastern
Canada Geohazards Assessment Project. Data collection techniques included reflection/refraction and landstreamer profiling. Previous collection and analysis of high-resolution borehole velocity logs in 18 borings in the Ottawa-Montreal area led to
the definition of an average shear-wave velocity-depth function unique to these sediments. This formula, when applied to 835 borehole logs from within Orleans, was used to estimate a Vs30 value at each location, based on the soil type described in
the log. The combined data from surface seismic sites and derived velocity-depth calculations were contoured to produce a Vs30 map of Orleans. Shear wave velocity and post-glacial thickness information was also used to produce a fundamental site
period map.
High Vs30 values (>1500 m/s) were calculated in areas of thin overburden, and very low Vs30 values (<180 m/s) were obtained in areas underlain by thick deposits of post-glacial sediments. Of note is a buried bedrock valley with steep
sides which extends in an elongate, NE-SW trend for approximately 2.5 km under Orleans. Borehole data alone did not clearly define the extent or depth of the clay-filled bedrock valley, which reached a depth of 95 meters in places. Due to the high
velocity contrast between post-glacial sediments and bedrock in the Ottawa area, ongoing research is being carried out to address the unusually high soil amplification factors observed in the study area. |
