Investigating the Performance Of Electrical Resistivity Arrays
… data is used to evaluate the performance of five electrical resistivity arrays, with the primary criteria being the reproduction of sharp model boundaries. 2D synthetic noise free data were calculated simulating a modern fixed spacing multi-electrode cable. Twelve 2D synthetic models, resembling a …

Characterizing soil erosion potential using electrical resistivity imaging
… characteristics also influence soil in situ bulk electrical resistivity (ER) measurements. The objective of this study was to characterize soil erosion potential by correlating the in situ ER of soil with erodibility measured in the Kansas State University Erosion Function Apparatus (KSU-EFA). ER …

Liner characterisation and leak detection using electrical resistivity techniques
The resistivity of soil ranges from 7-15 Ωm for Leachate #1 to 20-50 Ωm for Leachate #2. The resistivity decreases with an increase in the proximity to the leak point. Furthermore, the resistivity values obtained with water were nearly 10 times the values observed with landfill leachate as the …

Dissolution-enlarged fractures imaging using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)
<p>"In recent years the electrical imaging techniques have been largely applied to geotechnical and environmental investigations. These techniques have proven to be the best geophysical methods for site investigations in karst terrain, particularly when the overburden soil is clay-dominated. Karst …
