    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    In Doc1.pdf I mistakenly plotted the apparent resistivity(ohm-m).

    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    I have two more short measurements which are not close to Test 1 and 2 but closer to Test3 3, 4 and 5. These two measurements S1 and S2 are consistent with Tests 1 and 2. I have attaché the graph for Measured Apparent resistance in ohm not Apparent resistance(ohm-m). It seems that the soil...

    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    In homogenous soil, as the probe spacing increases, measurement resistance R=∆V/∆I=Resistance decreases(see the attached file)http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=15c4575e-048b-4f2f-80b0-6e61a7d1ae99&file=Doc2.pdf

    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    I got a good set of measurement from two other locations(R-1,R-2)as you can see from the attached file. The other previous measurements data were not good. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=863c7c2f-3a8a-484f-bd9b-d5aad885760f&file=Doc1.pdf

    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    That is correct for this reason we are interested in soil resistivity of the entire site without impact of any metallic objects as you named during the measurements. The given measurements data are not a good representation for coming up with a soil model.

    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    The measured apparent resistance should decrease with increasing the electrode spacing, we do not see this trend up to almost 7 feet.

    soil resistivity measurement and interpertation

    Hi All, I have a soil measurement as it is shown in the attached excel file. It is a Wenner method. I know measurements are not good. What is your suggestion to come of with a soil model to be a good representation of the soil model for the site. Thanks...
