Experimental Investigations of Electrical Resistivity of Different Field Soils
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 5
Abstract
The geophysical method which dominant by geophysicists become one of most popular method applied by engineers in civil engineering fields. Electrical Resistivity Method (ERM) is one of geophysical tool that offer very attractive technique for subsurface profile characterization in larger area. Applicable alternative technique in groundwater exploration such as ERM which complement with existing conventional method may produce comprehensive and convincing output thus effective in terms of cost, time, data coverage and sustainable. ERM has been applied by various applications in groundwater exploration. Over the years, conventional method such as excavation and test boring are the tools used to obtain information of earth layer especially during site investigation .Resistivity measurements are associated with varying depths relative to the spacing between two electrodes in the test. Soil resistivity and ground resistance at ten different sites nearby K.S.R.M College areas using grounding system with aluminium rods. This study was able to prove that the ERM can be established as an alternative tool in soil identification provided it was being verified other relevance information such using geotechnical properties.
