Geophysical testing for rock assessment and pile design
By Lani Cheenikal, Harry Poulos, Robert Whiteley
Geophysical testing has increasingly been used for geotechnical investigations to identify subsurface irregularities such as fill, cavities and variable strata. It can also be used to obtain quantitative information that is useful for foundation assessment and design. This paper describes the use of SUBS© (Site Uniformity Borehole Seismic) geophysical testing for the geotechnical investigation and foundation design of St Falls development in Falls Creek Alpine Resort, VIC, Australia.
