Title: GEOLOGIC METHODS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Accession Number: 00229534
Record Type: Component
Abstract: TOPOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TERRAINS, AND THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURES OF THE UNDERLYING MATERIALS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF MODERN MAJOR HIGHWAYS. THE PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE TERRAIN SUCH AS THE TOPOGRAPHY, ROCKS, AND SOILS, ARE ELEMENTS THAT MAY BE ANALYZED BY THE SPECIAL TECHNIQUES OF THE GEOLOGIST AND THE SOIL SCIENTIST. THE MASSACHUSETTS GEOLOGIC PROGRAM HAS CONDUCTED FOUR SPECIAL GEOLOGIC STUDIES: (1) GRAVEL AND SAND RESOURCES OF PARTICULAR AREAS, (2) RECONNAISSANCE GEOLOGY, (3) GROUND-WATER INVESTIGATIONS, AND (4) SEISMIC STUDIES. STUDY METHODS AND FINDINGS ARE PRESENTED.
