A bstract Examples are given illustrating the application of geo‐electrical methods to engineering problems in Austria and Yugoslavia. A large number of these examples deal with dam problems. In this field, resistivity methods are used for bedrock investigations, to check the efficiency of cement injections into the rock, and to investigate the seepage of water underneath the dam. In the building and maintenance of roads, resistivity methods are used for the detection of cavities underneath the road. On the Vienna air port, a radio method was used for the same purpose.
