| Summary: | The strength parameter of soil is the most important aspect of ground engineering.
Therefore, precise determination of engineering parameters of soil is essential for many
calculation purposes in geotechnical engineering design such as ground bearing capacity
and ground slope stability. Soil investigation (SI) incorporating bore hole sampling
provides the most reliable value of the relevant soil parameters for the purpose of
geotechnical design, yet it is time-consuming, expensive and destructive. As an
alternative, geophysical method has been found to be an attractive tool for delineating of
subsurface properties without soil disturbance. The primary objective of this research
work is to investigate the relationship between electrical resistivity and various soil
parameters. The research work consists of field resistivity surveys, soil boring and soil
characterization tests. Field survey includes ID vertical electrical sounding (VES) and 2D
resistivity imaging for comparison. |
