CEGR 5274 - Site Characterization


Site investigation and site assessment technologies employed in geotechnical and environmental engineering; Site investigation planning and various geophysical methods including: seismic measurements, ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity, and electromagnetic conductivity; Drilling methods for soil, gas and ground water sampling; decontamination procedures; and long term monitoring methods; Conventional and state-of-the-art in situ methods for geotechnical and environmental site characterization: standard penetration test, vane shear test, dilatometer test, pressure-meter test and cone penetration tests. Modern advances in cone penetrometer technology, instrumented with various sensors (capable of monitoring a wide range of physical and environmental parameters: load, pressure, sound, electrical resistivity, temperature, PH, oxidation reduction potential, chemical contaminants).
