Thesis Abstract
**Abstract
**
This research focuses on the application of geophysical surveys for assessing the condition of infrastructure systems. Geophysical methods offer non-destructive and cost-effective means of evaluating the structural integrity and subsurface conditions of various infrastructure assets, including bridges, roads, dams, and pipelines. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of geophysical techniques such as ground-penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography, and seismic refraction for detecting subsurface anomalies, deterioration, and potential failure mechanisms. By integrating geophysical data with structural assessments, the research seeks to enhance the reliability of infrastructure condition monitoring and inform maintenance and rehabilitation strategies.
