Integrated approach of electrical resistivity and borehole logging to determine heterogeneous composition of waste soil.

The behaviors of waste soil settlement are very challenging to be predicted since the complexity of the waste compositions would cause differential settlement. In order to accurately determine the compositions of waste soil, the integrated approach of electrical resistivity and borehole logging meth...
