Report on foundation of the integrated geophysical survey committee


Abstract
Various geophysical surveys are applied to the research in many geotechnical projects. However, reliability about the results of geophysical surveys is questionable in some cases. Although the Society of Exploration Geophysicist of Japan has worked toward standardization of the method of geophysical surveys, it could be considered that viewpoint of using survey results to geotechnical interpretation was weak. It is essential for the growth of geophysical works to study applications and geotechnical interpretation of geophysical surveys. From this background, The Integrated Geophysical Survey Committee has been organized and activities were started up recently. In this committee, case studies, geotechnical interpretation, applications and data base of geophysical surveys will be studied. The goal of the committee is to standardize geophysical surveys in geotechnical projects. In this report, the background and activities of the committee will be shown.
