Abstract
Current geophysical techniques used in the assessment of the interior of earthen embankments include: acoustic/seismic, electro-magnetic and resistivity, gravity, and radar. The tradeoff associated with using geophysical techniques is that the measurements are sensitive to the distribution of the bulk “geophysical” properties (elasticity, electrical resistivity, dielectric constant, etc) in the subsurface.
