Radiography, the use of penetrating radiation to produce shadow
images of the internal structure of materials, has been with us
since Roentgen made his discovery of x rays in 1895. However,
applications of radiography in the earth sciences and in the
related field of soils engineering have, until recent ly, been slow
to develop. Bruhl reported optimistically on applications in
paleontology as early as 1896 and there have been additional
reports through the years. However, very few paleontologists
adopted the method and the significant literature is relatively
restricted. In soil mechanics, Gerber observed the movement oflead
pellets in sand during a plate-bearing test as early as 1929.
Gradual ly, radiography was applied to other tests including those
on footings, compaction of soils, strain in sand, effects of pile
penetration, and displace ments under moving wheel loads. Recently,
such work has broadened into much varied and sophisticated
research. Applications in geology may be dated to Hamblin's work on
rocks re ported in 1962. His demonstration that many fine textural
and structural details can be observed in slices of rock led to
experimentation by others on unconsolidated sediments and soils.
Work is now expanding at an un precedented rate. In some
operations, such as the logging of oceanographic cores, it is
already a routine process. The advantages of radiography lie in its
nondestructive nature and its ability to reveal features that
sometimes cannot be seen in any other way."
