Possibilities and Results of Using the Combined Standing Wave Method (RAP) for Preliminary Assessment of the Geological Structure of Building Sites

Summary This article discusses the possibilities of using the express method for preliminary assessment of the geomechanical structure of construction sites - the combined method of standing waves (RAP). The above examples show the real results of work carried out on construction sites in Turkey and Russia. The results of comparison of the results of the RAP with other methods of geophysics are also presented. Comparison results show good convergence between RAP data and other methods. Based on the above examples, the authors conclude that the use of express methods of geophysics at the initial stage of engineering surveys will significantly increase the efficiency of research while generally reducing the time for performing engineering surveys.
