Geophysics and Non-Destructive Testing of Drilled Shafts:
Use of both of these technologies by State DOTs across the country
has been on the rise for the past few years. In an effort to provide assistance
to States and other Transportation Partners, FHWA has completed a number
of efforts in this area. These efforts include the following:
-
FHWA has sponsored several conferences, Geophysics 2000, 2002, 2003,
on this subject. To see information about these conferences, click

-
A report, "Nondestructive Testing for Quality Assurance and Quality
Control of Drilled Shafts at State Departments of Transportation", was
completed by FHWA-CA Division office in conjunction with California
State University - LA (Report No. FHWA-CA-03-001). Document is posted
in the DOT Online Publications website. For more information, click

-
The Central Federal Lands Highway Division Office of FHWA has developed
an online interactive manual entitled "Applications of Geophysical Methods
to Highway Related Problems..." Access the document by clicking

-
FHWA's Geotechnical Engineering website has a wealth of additional
information. This includes publications, working groups, and information
about conferences and other national activities. For more information,
