A Review of the Advantages and Limitations of Geophysical Investigations in Landslide Studies Article (PDF Available) in International Journal of Geophysics 2019(4):127 · July 2019 with 482 Reads
The instruments used were a 22kHz piezoelectric probe generating a sonic (seismic) pulse, and a receiver of the same frequency. A sparker probe with 100J output operating at about 4kHz was also used, but for demonstration only. The procedure required fluid in the boreholes, a condition which was fulfilled only in the sections below the water table.
Dec 18, 2019· Dams are engineering structures constructed for different purposes. They are of different sizes, shapes and types. In all cases, many essential studies should be carried out before deciding the location, type and size of the dam. Among those studies is the geological investigations which should be carried out to deduce the geological conditions in the most relevant site, depth of the ...
The geophysical equipment for these types of investigations often include Geometrics'' Geode, Ballard borehole source, GeoStuff triaxial geophones, 2 Hz or Hz geophones for MASW, an accelerated weight drop like a 700 lb elastic wave generator, to 40 Hz geophone for Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction, a 10 to 20 lb sledge hammer ...
1 Introduction. In the last decade, the involvement of geophysics in civil and environmental engineering has become a promising approach. Geophysical methods are implemented in a wide range of applications ranging from building ground investigations to the inspection of dams and dikes (Klimis et al 1999, Luna and Jadi 2000, Othman 2005, Savvaidis et al 1999, Soupios et al 2005, 2006 ...
Dec 12, 2016· Geophysical investigations and, in particular, the MASW method are mainly used for cavity identification. If the geophysical sections are calibrated with adjacent borehole data, they can also help in assessing weathered and fractured zones up to a depth of about 25 mbgl.
Geophysical parameters in the area of investigation vary over a wide range: from 712 ohmmeters (mudstone of Karroo age) to several ten thousands of ohmmeters (solid, crystallized limestone of Katanga age) and 180 m/sec (dry loose top soil) to 6400 m/sec (solid, crystallized limestone).
Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. This type of investigation is called a site investigation. Additionally, geotechnical investigations are ...
Types of geophysical survey. There are many methods and types of instruments used in geophysical surveys. Technologies used for geophysical surveys include: Seismic methods, such as reflection seismology, seismic refraction, and seismic type of survey is carried out to discover the detailed structure of the rock formations beneath the surface of the Earth.
comprehensive investigation was needed to identify the cause of the problem and the ... geophysical investigation to determine: 1) if any cavities were present under the ... In general the limestone bedrock is 5 to 10 meters below the existing grade. There are several pronounced depressions in the surface of the limestone
A poorly lithified and often glauconite rich sandstone rests upon the Precambrian bedrock. The glauconitic sandstone has been formed in a marine environment with relatively high water levels (Kornfält et al. 1978), and it is overlain by the Cretaceous transgressions and regressions occurred during the late Cretaceous, and the limestone consists to a large degree of carbonate ...

Jun 01, 2008· Recently, there has been an increase in the application of geophysical methods to nearsurface problems generally including landslide studies, waste disposal site investigations, groundwater explorations, detecting faults and determining physical properties of soil (Steeples, 2001).Use of geophysical methods to study landslides may produce useful information on defining internal .
Dec 12, 2016· Geophysical investigations and, in particular, the MASW method are mainly used for cavity identification. If the geophysical sections are calibrated with adjacent borehole data, they can also help in assessing weathered and fractured zones up to a depth of about 25 mbgl.
Utility locators, construction professionals, environmental firms and land surveyors need to know about underground assets prior to digging and trenching efforts. Transportation Highway professionals, engineers and transportation departments require a safe, reliable and nondestructive method to evaluate roads and bridges.
Geophysical investigation was carried out around the University Health Sciences of the Osun State University, Osogbo using the Schlumberger technique of the electrical resistivity method. The aim of the study was to evaluate the groundwater potential and to access how protected the aquifer in the area could be to surface pollutants. Four (4) vertical electric sounding (VES) data were acquired ...
Landslide deformations involve approximately all geological materials (natural rocks, soil, artificial fill, or combinations of these materials) and can occur and develop in a large variety of volumes and shapes. The characterization of the material inhomogeneities and their properties, the study of the deformation processes, and the delimitation of boundaries and potential slip surfaces are ...
ADVERTISEMENTS: Geophysics, in the past few years, has reached a place of vital importance to the scientific development and protection of the world''s precious ground water supply. Geophysical investigations of the buried strata can be made either from the land surface or in a drilled hole in the formation. The surface methods include: 1. Electrical [.]
