Integration of SPT (N-value), mackintosh probe (M-value) and resistivity values for soft soil assessment

2-D resistivity method has been used in association with Mackintosh probe and Standard Penetration Test (SPT) to investigate the ground properties at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang. The purpose of this study was to determine the resistivity value of the subsurface material together with N-v...
