Abstract
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of geophysical diagnostic techniques used to verify the soundness of large civil structures such as reinforced concrete dams. The techniques discussed include - `cross-holes`, `sonic logs` and, in particular, `sonic tomography`. The aspects covered include - fundamental principles of the geophysical methods and data acquisition systems; as well as, advantages and disadvantages of the various types of diagnostic techniques. For illustrative purposes, the paper presents the results of the application of sonic tomography to determine the condition of some hydroelectric power dams in Italy.
