Abstract : Reflection and refraction of SH- wave propagation at the intersecting plane between an orthotropic media and two semi infinite dry sandy half spaces is analyzed with possible applications. The observation ensures that reflection and refraction coefficients are influenced by initial stress, dry sandy coefficient and angle of incidence. The graphs are designed to analyze the reflection and refraction of SH- wave in a layer sandwiched between two half spaces. Also, the variations of various amplitude ratio with frequency of incident wave striking at a particular angle of incidence are depicted graphically. The closest form of reflection and refraction coefficient have been explained mathematically.
