APPLICATION OF ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY AND ELECTROMAGNETIC METHODS IN AGRICULTURE

Abstract The electrical resistivity  and magnetic methods in agriculture is significantly influenced by shape of the particle of soil, presence of moisture in soil, chemical properties of soil and presence of organic materials in soil. Chemical properties of soil such as Soil pH, Cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil salinity can be efficiently determined by electrical […]

THE APPLICATION OF ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY METHOD IN FOUNDATION FAILURE INVESTIGATION

ABSTRACT An electrical resistivity method was carried out on site proposed for the construction of state secretariat office complex in Makurdi, Benue state, using vertical electrical sounding (VES) with Shlumberger electrode configuration. The soundings, which comprised of fifteen VES was done at three different locations to ascertain the suitability of the subsurface foundation at the […]
