    Wenner Array

    Both ERI array configurations show consistent geologic features with elucidation of a pair of lenticular channel bodies within the Mehrten formation volcaniclastic horizons, located at depths between 100-240 feet deep, which correspond well to the electric log for Test Well #1, located to the left as indicated. The Mehrten Formation channel located to the southeast (right) side of the image on both arrays has apparent resistivity values approaching 100 ohm-meter near its core, which is consistent with a sandy gravel filled channel. Such gravel bearing channels in the Mehrten Formation tend to have the highest ground water yields and a proposed test well is located in the channel axis as indicated at electrode station #41.

    Case Study Tunnel Erosion

    Tunnel erosion, also known as Piping, is the subsurface erosion of

    soil by percolating waters to produce pipe-like conduits below

    ground especially in non-lithified earth materials. This is a type of

    mechanical soil movement where by fine subsurface sediment

    moves in underground channel ways through permeable materials.

    Interpretation for the ERT Imaging :The length of the survey line was 60mts ,with 1m electrode spacing ,totally 60 electrodes are involved. These distorted layers impregnated with

    freshwater are delineated from 5m to 10m depths. The low resistivity that ranging from 100 to 130 Ohm M at the depth of the 6m on either sides of vertical structure in the profile implies

    the presence sand pipes in the study area. These low resistivity layers are engulfed by the freshwater zone with a range of resistivity values from 35 to 122 Ohm M below 6m from the

    surface. The high resistivity zone of base rock is identified with 1581 to 2577 Ohm M at a depth of 236m. The low resistivity zone of circled image indica tes the path of the pipe like

    structures which clearly depict the resistivity value that ranges from 536 to 786 Ohm M.

    Case Study Hydro-Carbon Contamination Study

    Hydro Carbon Contamination Study:Electrical resistivity surveys have been used for many decades in hydro geological, mining and Geo-technical investigations. Considering the difficulty of imaging a resistive target in a complex geological framework an integrated approach is probably best. Godio and Morelli (1999) used a conductivity meter for reconnaissance with which to plan the GPR survey. GPR was then used and followed up with an electrical resistance tomography (ERT) survey to detect and define the lateral distribution of the hydrocarbon pollution.

    Interpretation for the ERT Line I :This profile runs along East -West direction which is shown in Google map.. The lithological section can be interpreted as four layer model. There are low resistivity contours up to the 1m depth from the surface in the top part of the profile indicating the presence of saturated silty sand with cobbles and pebbles. High resistivity contour suggests the presence of medium to fine unsaturated silty sand up to the 4 m depth. Saturated Oil sands generally have low resistive value than the alluvium and some of the value is overlapped between the two. The slightly low resistive value of 100- 300 suggest the presence of the alluvium of fine to silty sand with oil spill on the sands upto depth of around 9m. Most of the oil seepage is visible at chainage 16m and around 32 to37m. The low resistive region with contour 10-100 suggest the presence of the ground water aquifer. The contrast in the resistivity of the sand at third and fourth layer.

    Case Study Sub-Soil Foundation Study

    The Bridge Foundation Study focused on mapping vertical variations of electrical resistivity to enable detection various layers with different lithology in the subsurface at the abutment locations. The objectives of the survey are as the following: To establish 2D Electrical Resistivity sections of the ground profile showing different layers of overburden and bedrock .To find out weak zones and water bearing zones in the specified survey areas

    Interpretation for the ERT Line I : This profile runs parallel to Kaligandaki River in its right bank. The 2D ERT result up to 45 m depth and respective lithology are shown in ERT I. The position of proposed abutment is also shown in the same Figure. The ERT result is discussed below. There are low to medium resistivity contours in the top part of the profile near chainage 80m, abutment location and near chainage 250m in the upstream part (marked by a). It indicates presence of overburden composed of alluviums with more gravels and boulders. Second layer is marked by low resistivity contours (marked by b) near chainages 80m. 150m (near abutment) and 250m. The low resistivity suggests presence of alluvial deposit with more saturated sands in these locations. These alluvial layers together extend to about 30m depth near chainage 80m, 12m near abutment site and 8m near chainage 250m. Near chainage 125m (20m downstream of present abutment site) the alluvial layer has mainly gravel boulder and extend only to about 9m depth. The underlying layer is marked by medium to high resistivity contours. This is may be layer with more gravels and boulders or weathered bedrock.

    Interpretation for the ERT Line II : This profile runs parallel to Kaligandki river in its left bank. The centre of profile is at the proposed abutment site. The ERT profile layout is shown in ERT II. There are medium resistivity contours in the top layer from chainage 80m to 180m, including proposed abutment site. The medium resistivity suggests presence of gravel boulder layer. It extends to about 7m depth from ground surface. The low resistivity contours are present near chainages 50m, 80m to 180m and 240m. These are the zones with dominantly saturated sands. This zone extends to about 24m depth near the proposed abutment site and 9m depth near chainage 250m. The underlying layer is represented by higher resistivity contours. This may be hard bedrock layer, which may extend from 20m depth to well over 45m depth. However, at locations near chainages70m (previously drilled location) and 200m the bedrock may extend from a depth of 6m to over 45m depth.
