| Abstract | The paper presents an integrated approach in subsurface investigation of the existing geotechnical structure using ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic survey and by drilling a limited number of boreholes. These methods are used to investigate the RE wall, which is a part of the rail over bridge (ROB) on the National Highway. Information about the detailed survey, testing procedure and data analysis are presented in this paper. Geophysical investigation using GPR and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (seismic survey) and a borehole test were carried out without disturbing the traffic flow and structure. Compaction quality, homogeneity of soil layers, static and dynamic properties of the backfill materials and foundation soil have been determined from the geotechnical and geophysical tests. The results obtained from the study are used to comprehend the reason for the misalignment of RE wall (present position). The study shows that integrated subsurface exploration can be used to assess the geotechnical structure's integrity, properties, and also to understand its performance under static and dynamic loading. |
