New Dam Construction Revolutionized by Geoelectrical Data-Geotechnical Parameter Relations!

Determination of Empirical Relations between Geoelectrical Data and Geotechnical Parameters in Foundation Studies for a proposed Earth Dam.
Ismaila Abiodun Akinlabi, G. O. Adeyemi

Paper Summary

The scientists conducted tests on soil samples from boreholes to create equations linking soil resistivity with geotechnical properties for building a dam. They found that resistivity increases with soil compaction, while plasticity index and cohesion decrease. The equations they developed can help estimate important soil properties for engineering purposes.
