Subsoil investigations
This module teaches the basics of geotechnical investigations for civil engineering purposes. The described subsoil investigation by indirect (e.g., drilling methods) and direct exploration methods (e.g., dynamic sounding) form the basis for an understanding of a civil engineering description and evaluation of soil and rock.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- The objective of a geotechnical investigation;
- The purpose of structural and subsoil investigation by means of excavations;
- Differentiation between direct and indirect excavation methods, such as drilling methods and indirect excavation methods, such as dynamic sounding.

This module teaches the basics of geophysical soil investigation and is to be understood as a supplement to the module "Geotechnical Investigation". Geophysical measurement methods belong to the indirect exploration methods and allow statements regarding local inhomogeneities in the pipeline zone (e.g. bedding defects, cavities, disruptions, concrete encasements) or, in the case of investigations of existing sewers and pipelines, statements regarding the condition and load-bearing capacity of the embedment. In addition to ground or georadar (EMR - electromagnetic reflection), which is well-known in pipeline construction and rehabilitation, the measurement methods seismic, seismic tomography, air gun seismic, magnetics, electromagnetics and geoelectrics are also introduced.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Procedural principles and
- Assignment of application areas to procedures of geophysical ground investigation.
