ASCE Seattle Section Geotechnical Group - Fall Short Course
Geophysical methods, though not a substitute for boring or testing, can be a cost-effective and reliable means of imaging the subsurface between and beyond boreholes, and of determining in-situ properties of soil and rock. It is especially useful over large study areas and often used to complement a cost-effective, well-planned, drilling and testing program.
Geophysical Methods What, Where, and How to Use for Geotechnical Site Characterization and Analyses is a practical short course on how geophysical methods can be used to supplement conventional subsurface investigations. Several commonly used methods will be presented, designed to answer typical questions about the application of geophysics in geotechnical engineering, such as:
What to look for in the method
What tools are appropriate
Where to use the method
What interferences can occur in geophysical surveys
How to know if your geophysicist is doing a good job
How to interpret the results
How to develop an appropriate scope of work
What are the limitations of the methods
