Abstract:
The use of two geophysical methods in the investigation of the geological setting in the area of a dam foundation is presented in this study. The seismic method was used in order to map the structure of the upper layers near the riverbed. VES and resistivity tomographs were also carried out. The depth to the basement was estimated by interpreting the VES curves. Interpretation of the topographic images, along with the inferred models from the seismic data, revealed the thickness of the colluvial deposits.Key Words:
