Methodology

2-D resistivity method that


The methods to investigate has been used in association
the ground properties in this with Mackintosh probe and
study include: Standard Penetration Test
(SPT).
The arrangement of electrodes for a 2D electrical survey and the
sequence of measurements used to build up a pseudosection
Setup for a 2-D survey with a number of electrodes along
a straight line attached to a multi-core cable.
A constant spacing between adjacent electrodes is used.
The multi-core cable is attached to an electronic switching
unit which is connected to a laptop computer.
The sequence of measurements to take, the type of array
to use and other survey parameters is normally entered
into a text file which can be read by a computer program
in a laptop computer.
After reading the control file, the computer program then
automatically selects and stored the appropriate
electrodes for each measurement.
For a system with 20 electrodes as shown in the Figure,
firstly 19 of measurements with a spacing of la is made,
followed by 18 measurements with 2a spacing then by
17 measurements with 3a spacing and so on
