The effect of different degree of compaction towards electrical resistivity value for cohesive soil

Electrical resistivity is a non-destructive method used to measure the resistivity of ground properties, which is related to soil properties such as porosity and degree of saturation, as described in Archie's law. In road construction, soil compaction is a crucial process that requires quick...
