Difficult issues of using geophysical methods in the course of engineering-geological survey

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the consideration of various geophysical methods used in engineering-geological surveys, as well as to the features of interpreting their results and their influence on the choice of design solutions.

In practice, geophysical methods can significantly increase the efficiency and accuracy of engineering-geological and geotechnical assessments, but the correct application of them is associated with many nuances (from the choice of a technique for specific geological conditions to competent analysis of the obtained data and coordinating them with the results of engineering-geological drilling and laboratory studies of soil samples.
