Geophysics is a scientific field that studies the Earth’s physical properties and processes using non-invasive techniques. With the advent of advanced geophysical investigation methods, the role of geophysics in structural and geotechnical engineering has become increasingly important. In this paper, we will discuss the key applications of geophysics in these fields, focusing on how it has revolutionized site characterization, foundation design, and hazard assessment. The accurate characterization of subsurface geology, groundwater conditions, and soil properties is crucial for any construction project. Geophysics provides a non-intrusive method to investigate the subsurface without the need for drilling or excavation. Foundation design is also one of the most critical aspects of any construction project. By applying geophysical techniques to map subsurface features, the variability and the lateral extent of soil properties can be quantified. Hazard Assessment: Natural hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, and subsidence, can pose significant threats to infrastructure and human life. Geophysics can play a vital role in hazard assessment by helping to identify potential hazards and allowing for more effective mitigation strategies. It is important to recognize that geophysics is only one part of the overall site characterization process, and it should be complemented by other geotechnical investigation methods.
