Download or read book Geophysical Methods Commonly Employed for Geotechnical Site Characterization written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This circular offers an overview of 12 geotechnical geophysical methods that are commonly applied to transportation projects. Geotechnical geophysics is the application of geophysics to geotechnical engineering problems; such investigations normally extend to total depths of less than 300 ft. Geotechnical geophysical surveys are performed on the ground surface, within boreholes and water, and from the air. Using illustrations and brief examples, commonly employed geotechnical geophysical methods are described."--Page 1.
