Geotechnical investigation of soil properties in Hatsalatladi village, Botswana; Insights from aeromagnetic, laboratory soil tests and Rayleigh wave dispersion datasets.

Soil tests and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) data were conducted in Hatsalatladi village, Botswana, to investigate the occurrence of ground fissures within the village and to identify the likely causes of the fissures and their depth extent. The MASW data were collected to gain insights into the variation of shear wave velocity with depth. The dataset shows that the shear wave velocity ranged from 150 m/s - 500 m/s, with Poisson's ratios ranging from 0.
