Conclusions
1. Cross-Hole Shear wave energy created by a split spoon soil sampler is transmitted primarily in a direction perpendicular to the sampler as an SV wave.
2. The velocity transducer is optimally oriented to be most sensitive to the directly transmitted SV wave.
3. The velocity transducer orientation reduces its sensitivity to the refracted SV wave.
4. Conclusions 2 and 3 combined with the refracted SV wave amplitude being less than 5% means that refracted SV waves have negligible effect on the recorded wave.
