Abstract :
The Geophysical methods involve
investigations on the surface with the aim to delineate
subsurface details. This is achieved by measuring certain
physical properties and interpreting them in terms of
subsurface geological features. A number of geophysical
methods like Seismic refraction, Seismic reflection,
Seismic tomography, Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface
waves (MASW), Ground Penetration Radar (GPR),
Resistivity, Self-Potential (SP), Magnetic, Gravity and
Well Logging methods are available. These methods can
be employed to solve various geotechnical engineering
problems such as Subsurface characterization,
Engineering properties, Highway subsidence, Ground
water delineation, Health study of dams, Phreatic surface
determination, Seepage detection and Locating buried
manmade objects. The present paper discusses about
different available geophysical methods, its applications
and limitations. Many-a- time’s single geophysical
methods may not yield the desired result due to their
limitations. In such cases two or more methods can be
integrated for better understanding of subsurface.
