Application of Geophysical Methods to
Highway Related Problems....
Welcome to the Federal Highway Administration online geophysical
imaging resource site.
The purpose of this website is to provide highway engineers with a basic
knowledge of geophysics and nondestructive test (NDT) methods for solving
specific engineering problems during geotechnical site investigation,
construction, and maintenance of highways. The web manual is not intended
to make engineers experts in the field of geophysics, but rather to provide
them with tools that will assist them in the use of suitable geophysical
and NDT techniques to evaluate problems for design, planning, construction,
or remediation efforts.
This website is divided into two main parts. The first part presents
a range of transportation related problems that geophysical imaging and
NDT methods can be used to solve (ENGINEERING
APPLICATIONS). The second part provides the reader with in depth knowledge
of geophysical methods and theories
(GEOPHYSICAL METHODS).
It is recommended for the reader to start at the
SOLUTION MATRIX to better navigate the website structure. For general
information about this web manual go to ABOUT
THIS SITE.
