The article presents the comparison analysis between deformation field from numerical model and shear wave (S-wave) velocity field obtained from seismic interferometry (SI). Tests were conducted on active Just-Tęgoborze landslide. Geologically, the study area lies in Magura Nappe in the Outer Carpathians. The landslide’s flysch bedrock is covered by Quaternary colluvium built of clays and weathered clayey-rock deposits. During geotechnical investigation, properties of landslide body were established and failure surfaces were distinguished. In order to obtain S-wave velocity models, one-hour of ambient seismic noise was recorded by 12 broadband seismometers. As a result of data processing with SI method, Rayleigh surface wave propagation was reconstructed. The analysis of dispersion curves allowed to estimate a two dimensional S-wave velocity field. The deformation field were calculated assuming an elastic-plastic Coulomb-Mohr strength criterion. Images of shear strain increment, and values of factor of safety of the slope were obtained as a result of calculation. The comparison of the results indicates the similar characteristic features in the S-wave velocity field and the field of deformation calculated numerically.
