Course Content (Syllabus)
The course aims to familiarize graduate students with the applications of Geophysics for solving problems relating to the safety, operation and behavior technical infrastructure, as well as in mapping geological structures affecting such structures. Emphasis is given on basic principles of geophysical methods, as well as in application examples for applied problems, such as:
a) Geohazards studies (seismic design of infrastructures, soil response, landslides, etc..)
b) Geological/geophysical mapping of areas affecting engineering of major infrastructure (dams, roads, etc.)
c) Non-destructive testing
The individual items that will be discussed are:
1.Application of active source seismic methods (surface and borehole) for the study of geotechnical problems
2.Application of passive seismic methods (microtremor, etc.)
3.Application of methods of electrical tomography
4.Application of GPR methods
