This article firstly proposes two problems related to geological structure inversion with acoustic computed
tomography (CT): the results surveyed are different from true stratum layers; the existing acoustic
CT inversion methods are based on wave’s travel route and velocity analysis, which is short of comprehensive
analysis of the revealed geological data. Then, it puts forward the method of applying the borehole data to revise
acoustic CT investigation result through controlling the boundary velocity. This method comprehensively uses
acoustic data and borehole data to invert the rock masses’ shear wave speed. Comparing to calculating the rock
mass’ wave speed with acoustic data alone, it makes full use of the information, and the results obtained are closer
to real stratum. Finally, it applies the method to engineering project and the results gotten with the method are
more accurate, which shows the reliability and accuracy of the method.
