1. INTRODUCTION:

The Earth Resistivity Test (ERT) of soil was carried out at site for EARTH
RESISTIVITY TEST WORK AT TULJAPUR SITE MAHARASHTRA. with the aim to
determine an average value of electrical resistivity of soil for design of safe earthing
system. The Earth resistivity field test were done in 02.11.2021 at FIVE locations
given as directed by the client.

2. PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION:
The purpose of this investigation is to determine an average value of electrical
resistivity of subsurface for design of safe earthing system with the help of
Microprocessor based electrical resistivity meter model DET-Auto.

3. GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATION:
Geophysical investigation was carried out as per IS: 3043-1987 on the basis of Earth
Resistivity meter model no. DET-Auto. Wenner’s four-electrode method is used to
determine the earth resistivity.

4. WENNER’S CONFIGURATION:
This is one of the most commonly used arrays proposed by Wenner in 1916. Four
electrodes A, B, M, and N are placed at the surface of the ground along a straight
symmetrically about a point O. The observation point in such a way that the distance
between AM = MN =NB = a., Where ‘a’ is called electrode separation see fig. 1.
Current ‘I’ is sent generally through outer electrodes A and B and the potential
difference (V) is measured between M and N. The instrument multiplication factor is f.

Electrode shall be driven in to the earth to a depth ‘B’. The depth ‘B’ should be ideally less
than 1/20 of spacing ‘A’.

Apparent Resistivity, = 2aR (As per IS: 3043 – 1987, Clause No. : 36.3.1.2)

5. Survey Procedure:
Resistivity sounding is used to make investigations along the depth. In this method
the center of configuration is kept fixed and measurements are made by successively
increasing electrode spacing. The apparent resistivity values obtained with increasing
values of electrode separations are used to estimate the thickness and resistivity of
the subsurface formations. In Wenner’s configuration all the four electrodes are
arranged in a line at a equal distance ‘a’ between the consecutive electrodes.
Measurements were taken at 1m,2m,3m,5m & 10m. Current is sent through the
outer electrodes and the potential difference is measured between the inner
electrodes. The Resistance (R = V/I) is measured for each electrode separation and
apparent resistivity is calculated by multiplying value of ‘R’ with Wenner configuration
factor (2a), where ‘a’ is the uniform distance between the electrodes. The
computation of the sounding data is discussed in the subsequent section.

6. Computation of Earth Resistivity:

When the earth resistivity readings for different electrode spacing in a direction are
within 20 to 30%, the soil is considered to be uniform. When the spacing is increased
gradually from low values, at a stage, it may be found that the resistivity readings are
more or less constant irrespective of the increase in the electrode spacing. The
resistivity for this spacing is noted and taken as the resistivity for that direction. In a
similar manner, resistivity for at least one equally spaced direction from the center of
the site are measured. These resistivity are plotted in a graph sheet in the appropriate
directions choosing a scale. A closed curve is plotted on the graph sheets jointing all
the resistivity points plotted to get the polar resistivity curve. The area inside the polar
resistivity curve is measured and equivalent circle of the same area is found out. The
radius of this equivalent circle is the average resistivity of the site under consideration.
The average resistivity thus obtained may be used for the design of the earthing grid
at that particular depth.

7. Results:
I. The electric resistivity test of the site were performed in 02.11.2021 at FIVE locations
as suggested by client.

II. Measured surface resistivity data is attached separately.

III. Average Resistivity / Equivalent Radius from polar curve are 130.935 Ohm-m.

8. LIMITATION
The Electrical resistivity testing has been carried out at the location chosen by the
client. In general resistivity values are influenced by water, presence of dissolved ions
in soil media and nature of strata. Recommendations made in the report are hence
valid only for tested locations only. However if there is any change in subsoil
conditions and properties at places beyond chosen test locations, the soil consultants
to be contacted for further guidance.
