文摘

A key to the success of any civil engineering project is the understanding of the sub-surface geology prior to planning and construction. Traditional method relied on scattered drilling for site characterization. Modern non-invasive surface geophysical methods are excellent tool for prospecting shallow geologic structure. The 2D electrical resistivity imaging method, because of its high resolution, can be a very useful for investigating the river terrace structures. Our results indicate a well-defined boundary in the resistivity structure that can be used to estimate the quantity of river terraces, highlighting the utility of this technique in studies of civil engineering and quarrying.
