• Abstract:
  There are many unmapped features under the state’s roadways that threaten them with major localized ; collapse. The most common of these features are abandoned underground mines in the eastern part of ; the state and sinkholes in portions of limestone bedrock. These catastrophic failures may cause loss of ; life, traffic disruption and large repair expenses. Identifying roadway locations which are likely to fail ; would allow remedial action to prevent the future failure. Methods to locate these locations need to be ; inexpensive enough to allow widespread use, but focused enough to target very specific problem areas. ; Geophysical survey techniques have the potential for meeting these requirements. Specific geophysical ; techniques need to be developed, which will be effective in identifying the potential failure zones under ; the conditions that prevail in Ohio.
