Abstract
A seismic crosshole tomography system for characterization of the subsurface at bridge sites in mantled karst terrane was evaluated in this study. There is great need for a reliable testing method to map competent rock and estimate pile tip elevations during design of a structure. Field data presented for a bridge foundation site were compared against material profiles available from geotechnical drilling. Crosshole profiles were found to match layering structure of drilling data. Based upon these findings, it can be concluded that seismic crosshole appears to be technically feasible for developing basic layer structure and top of rock profile in karst terrane.
