Abstract

To obtain objective information about the engineering-geological properties of rock massifs, it is necessary to conduct a wide range of studies, including geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological, geophysical and, above all, seismoacoustic studies. The physical basis of engineering seismic acoustics is the close dependence of the parameters of elastic waves on the features of the structure, properties and condition of the investigated rock massifs.


This work is devoted to the role of engineering geophysics, particularly seismic, in the construction of significant structures. As an example, specific projects and methods used for their implementation are given.
