Keywords: Seismi Refration, Diret Arrials, Geophones, Seismograph. INRODUCION he seismi refration method is one geophysial tehnique whih is frequently used to determine the harateristis of soils and roks (Ugwu, 008; Ayolabi et al., 009. Seismi refration finds appliation in the determination of rok ompetene for engineering appliation, depth to bedrok, groundwater exploration, rustal struture and tetonis (Kilner et al., 005; Asokhai et al., 008; Varughese et al., 0; Chiemeke and Aboh, 0. he seismi refration method is based on the measurement of the trael time of seismi waes refrated at the interfaes between subsurfae layers of different eloity (Ayolabi et al., 009. he seismi signal is introdued into the subsurfae ia a shot point using explosies, hammer blow, dropped weight or an elasti wae generator (Igboekwe and Ohaegbuhu, 0. he energy generated either traels diretly through the upper layer (diret arrials, or trael down through the arious layers before returning to the surfae (refrated arrials. he energy is then deteted on surfae at a series of reeiers alled geophones spaed at regular interals (Anomohanran, 0. After a ertain distane from the shot point, known as the ross oer distane, the refrated signal is obsered as a first 857 arrial signal at the geophones (arriing before the diret arrial. Both ompressional waes (P-waes whih proide depth information of interfaes and Shear waes (S-waes whih proide additional data about engineering properties of the subsurfae media an be used in the seismi refration method (Ayolabi et al., 009; Igboekwe and Ohaegbuhu, 0; Gabr et al., 0. In seismi refration method, the signal from the shot returns to the surfae by refration at subsurfae interfaes and is reorded at distanes muh greater than the depth of inestigation (Igboekwe and Ohaegbuhu, 0. he method relies on the tendeny of aousti eloities to inrease with depth, whih sometimes makes it insensitie to low eloity layers in the subsurfae. Based on the analysis of the field data, the seismi sureyor draws a profile showing the thikness of the subsurfae and a good idea of what materials they onsist of (Ayolabi et al., 009; Okiongbo et al., 0; Igboekwe and Ohaegbuhu, 0; Varughese et al., 0; Gabr et al., 0. Seismi refration surey uses the proess of ritial refration to infer interfae depths and layer eloities. he data are usually presented as ross setional plots representing P-wae path, eloities and depths to arious interfaes. he reason for this study is to present the field and data analysis proedure of the seismi refration

Mathematial Consideration he refration surey gies rise to first arrial signals whose time are piked up from a seismogram and plotted as trael time ures (Igboekwe and Ohaegbuhu, 0. he interpretation of the seismi signal is therefore set to determine the interfae depths and layer eloities. his will be arried out in stages... wo Layered Subsurfae Here we onsider a two layer horizontal stratified substratum as shown in Fig. where x is the offset distane from the energy soure to the geophone. is the thikness of the first layer, V is the signal eloity in the first layer and V is the signal eloity in the seond layer. he path of the energy signal is defined as SABG (Fig. Using Fig., we onsider the wae SA whih hits the layer boundary at the ritial angle θ. he total trael time for the refration signal to trael from the soure S to the geophone G is expressed as Equation : SA + AB + BG ( Whih an also be expressed as Equation : SA AB BG + + ( z From Fig., we dedue that SA BG os θ and AB x tan θ Hene we write that Equation and 4: z x tanθ z + + osθ osθ z x tanθ + osθ his an be re-arranged to gie: x sinθ + osθ osθ ( (4 (5 858 Aording to Snell s law, V sinθ V while the relations Sin θ + Cos θ.

From Fig., the slope of the first part gies / and the slope of the seond part gies /. he inerse of slopes gies us the eloities of the subsurfae (Igboekwe and Ohaegbuhu, 0. he ritial distane (x is the point on the surfae at whih the diret wae and the head wae arried simultaneously. Before the ritial distane, the diret waes arrie first while beyond the ritial distane, the head wae arries first. Aording to Fig., t is the interept of the seond segment of the straight line graph.
