Feasibility Study on Geophysical Methods to Estimate Geotechnical Properties in Louisiana

The main objective of this study is to synthesize available geophysical methods and provide headquarters (HQ) geotechnical designers with a short list of appropriate technologies that can offer the department cost-effective alternatives. The research will also develop recommendations and provide an action plan for Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to consider using geophysical methods in various geotechnical applications in Louisiana.
