oa Convergent aspects in engineering and environmental geophysics, illustrated by case histories

The goals, possible solutions and characteristic difficulties, that define convergent aspects in engineering and envfronmental geophysics will be discussed. The two independent branches of applied geophysics, i.e., engineering and environmental geophysies, should both be considered as aids of the geosiences, of the structural engineering and of the environmental research. The key for a succesful application of engineering or environmental geophysical measurements is the conversion of the obtained resuits into terms of structural engineering, geotechnical and hydrogeological language.
