USE OF SEISMO-ACOUSTIC METHODS

PRIMJENA SEIZMOAKUSTICKIH METODA

The paper describes the use of seismo-acoustic methods for soil investigation intended for the construction of large structures such as roads and tunnels. The beginning of the investigation consists in determining the structural and tectonic composition of rocks and their physical and mechanical properties. The investigation of the physical and mechanical properties of rocks by means of seismoacoustic methods is based on the theoretical and experimental dependencies between the physical and mechanical rock properties and elastic wave parameters. The observed dependencies are presented in order to determine the deformability, strength, fragility, heterogeneity and anisotropy of rocks. The geophysical investigation performed by means of the seismic and refraction method and the geoelectric trial boring method are presented and illustrated with the example of a road tunnel.
