Electrical resistivity as a tool to identify areas of progressive failure within UK infrastructure embankments

Sellers, R.; Dixon, N.; Dijkstra, T.A.; Gunn, D.A.; Chambers, J.E.; Jackson, P.D.; Hughes, P.. 2010 Electrical resistivity as a tool to identify areas of progressive failure within UK infrastructure embankments. In: IAEG Congress 2010, Auckland, New Zealand, 5-10 Sept 2010. EAGE.

Abstract

Although electrical resistivity has been used by the oil industry for more than 50 years
to locate oil resources, the use of this method for geotechnical purposes has been
limited. This is largely due to the non-unique nature of the values, the intricate
interpretative process and a degree of scepticism related to the potential usefulness of
this method.
