Overburden determination for quarry prospecting using seismic refraction: a case study

Aggregate is one of quarry product that is widely used in constructions industry. This raw material that produced from the fresh rock under the earth surface is the most important materials in construction that come from quarry. In order to obtain the quality material of quarry product the overburde...
