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.
