Thesis Abstract
Abstract
**
This study explores the application of geophysical surveys for assessing the condition of infrastructure. Geophysical methods offer non-destructive means of evaluating the subsurface and structural integrity of infrastructure such as bridges, dams, and buildings. By employing techniques such as ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography, and seismic surveys, this research aims to identify defects, deterioration, and potential failure mechanisms within infrastructure assets. Through case studies and field investigations, the study seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of geophysical surveys in detecting hidden defects, informing maintenance strategies, and ensuring the safety and longevity of critical infrastructure systems.
