Summary

The paper reviews geophysical methods used for the investigation of slope failures and describes a procedure of geophysical methods, serving for the areal limitation of the collapsed parts of slopes, for the depth limitation and determination of the sliding zone course and for the estimation of the existence of slope movements as well as the tracing of their development.

Résumé

On décrit dans le mémoire présenté les méthodes de géophysique Ensuite on traite de la manière des travaux de géophysique pour la limitation de surface des parties disloquées des pentes, pour la limitation de profondeur et pour la détermination et le contrôle du cours de la zone de glissement et pour la vérification de l’existence du mouvement de pente et le contrôle de l’évolution des mouvements de pente.
