Question:- A new building is proposed with a deep basement (10 meters below ground level) to be placed on rock. Borings indicated glacial till (4 meters deep on average) over shale. The shale is of varying hardness, so a seismic refraction survey was done. The results showed the shale has a seismic velocity of less than 1 km/sec except for a 30 cm thick layer at 8 meters below the surface. The seismic velocity of that layers is 3.5 km/sec. Provide a couple of recommendations for dealing with this layer. (Note that the shale can support the building without any structural issues.)
