Physical modeling, using ultrasonic sources and receivers over scaled exploration structures, plays a useful role in wave propagation and elastic property investigations. This paper explores the anisotropic response of novel fractured glass blocks created with a laser-etching technique. We compare transmitted and reflected signals for Pand Swaves from fractured and unfractured zones in a suite of ultrasonic experiments. The unaltered glass velocities are 5801 m/s and 3448 m/s for P and S waves, respectively, with fractured zones showing a small decrease (about 1%). Signals propagating through the fractured zone have decreased amplitudes and increased coda signatures. Reflection surveys (zero-offset and variable polarization and offset gathers) record significant scatter from the fractured zones. The glass specimens with laser-etched fractures display a rich anisotropic response.
