There are many general geophysical textbooks dealing with the
subject of seismic refraction. As a rule, they treat the principles
and broad aspects ofthe method comprehensively but problems
associated with engineering seismics at shallow depths are treated
to a lesser extent. The intention of this book is to emphasize some
practical and theoretical aspects of detailed refraction surveys
for civil engineering projects and water prospecting. The book is
intended for students of geophysics, professional geophysicists and
geologists as well as for personnel who, without being directly
involved in seismic work, are planning surveys and evaluating and
using seismic results. The latter category will probably find
Chapters 1, 5 and 6 of most interest. Interpretation methods, field
work and interpretation of field examples constitute the main part
of the book. When writing I have tried to concentrate on topics not
usually described in the literature. In fact, some discussions on
interpretation and correction techniques and on sources of error
have not been published previously. The field examples, which are
taken from sites with various geological conditions, range from
simple to rather complicated interpretation problems. Thanks are
due to A/S Geoteam (Norway), Atlas Copco ABEM AB (Sweden), BEHACO
(Sweden) and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute for allowing me
to use field examples and certain data from their investigations. I
should particularly like to thank Professor Dattatray S. Parasnis
of the University of Luleii (Sweden) for revising the manuscript
and for his numerous invaluable suggestions.
