Abstract

Summary

Civil and geotechnical engineers have used geophysical techniques for many decades. However more recently geophysics is being used to provide input parameters for civil / geotechnical engineering design and numerical modelling. The examples given include use of GPR to give very detailed profiles at peat sites and Vs to give very good first order estimates of soil strength and stiffness properties.
