Use of Geophysical Methods in Construction: Proceedings of Sessions of Geo-Denver 2000 : August 5-8, 2000, Denver, Colorado (Geotechnical Special Publication)

By John Diehl

Proceedings of sessions of Geo-Denver 2000, held in Denver, Colorado, August 5-8, 2000. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication (GSP 108) contains 16 papers presenting recent advances in and practical applications of geophysical methods to solve construction-related problems or to facilitate the construction process. Geophysical techniques can assist the construction industry in many ways, before, during, and after construction. Preconstruction activities presented include utility engineering, site reconnaissance, and anomaly detection. During construction, geophysical techniques used as economical and rapid quality control or process control tools are represented. The use of geophysical methods after the completion of the project is demonstrated as a means to monitor the overall health or determine the causes or consequences of localized or general construction problems.
