The present paper briefly describes methods and techniques of field work, data-Processing and interpretation adopted in shallow seismic exploration for solving engineering geologic problolns as well as the working method of"five small and two high",and discusses the necessity of using wave method in combination with the reflected wave method.The results show thatshallow seismic exploration can play a unique role in finding out buried depth of bedrock anddetecting faults,thus Providing fairly accurate and reliable geologic basis for overall distributionof industry in the development area.
