He added that it was practiced in advanced countries and some developing countries to be reinforced to avoid build collapse, and road failure.
Adeoti defined Geophysics as the application of the principles of physics or physical principles to studies of the Earth and Geophysicist as a scientist who studies the physical properties of the earth or applies physical measurements to geologic problems: a specialist in geophysics.
While giving solutions to the challenges beneath the earth’s surface, Adeoti said that the
a traditional geotechnical investigation was a point source method while the geophysical method covered the lateral and vertical extend of the subsurface, adding that geophysical approach saved time, energy, and money.
He said, “Thus, the combination of geophysical and geotechnical methods would illuminate the subsurface better than the traditional geotechnical approach. It is therefore recommended that the integration of geophysical and geotechnical methods for high fidelity representation of subsurface information should be made mandatory to all professionals and contractors by all relevant agencies at Local, State and Federal levels.
