Abstract
The renewal of railway embankments (RE) requires the characterization of their mechanical properties. Techniques classically used to study RE are mainly local, destructive, expensive and of low yields (geotechnical in situ tests, core-drillings). There is a great need in the development and deployment of non-destructive methods, allowing quick and efficient diagnosis of the RE state. Surface wave method has been deployed in a test site to determine the shear modulus along the line. The development of a surface-wave dispersion inversion algorithm according to a probabilistic approach, enables to switch from qualitative to quantitative results. Such Bayesian implementation should help the results interpretation and constrain end-users decisions.
