Geophysical investigation for engineering construction assessment in karst area

A geophysical survey involving electrical resistivity imaging was carried out in various parts of Perak state, Malaysia, to assess the risk of establishing engineering structures in a karst system. The area is underlain by the Palaeozoic Kinta limestone bedrock. A total of 9 survey lines were establ...
