Técnicas nucleares usadas na localização de zonas de fraturas nos granitos de Itu-SP

Nowadays there are many geophysical techniques of rock fractures mapping as GPR, electromagnetic and dipole-dipole geoectrical sounding. These methods don't give information about the content of fracture zone, that can be fullfilled of clay. Using nuclear methods as gamma spectrometry and radon emanometry become possible to identify the nature of mineral composition of fracture material and to study the freshwater circulation using the radon transport by water. In this work the integration of nuclear, GPR and geoelectric techniques in Itu granitic intrusives became very interesting because it was possible to find and identify fracture in granitic rock with clay and freshwater content.
