SOME KNOWLEDGE OBTAINED FROM SEISMIC SURVEY IN TUNNEL

Seismic survey is now regarded to be one of the most useful exploration methods in the region of engineering geology, especially in tunneling. In the past, the seismic survey has been carried out almost exclusively from the ground surface above a tunnel, but the authors have tried it experimentally in tunnels to examine the natural characters of rock in situ. The present report purports to describe the measured results of seismic surveys in the tunnel which may be used for a more accurate survey and an analysis of problems in rock mechanics concerned with the geological and physical properties of rock in situ.
