 Correlation of Apparent Electrical Resistivity with Elastic Moduli and Soil Shear Strength Parameters in Yenagoa, Southern Nigeria by Okiongbo KS in   Crimson publishers :  Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology Abstract Go to Many published correlations between soil electrical resistivity with soil strength parameters are limited to site-specific qualitative correlations between geoelectrical and geotechnical data. The absence of site-specific quantitative transforms for resistivity and various geotechnical test results such as CPTu do not allow the prediction of geotechnical parameters via geoelectric data. Thus, establishing a correlation between soil electrical resistivity and soil strength parameters, which can be applied in shallow soil strength prediction, would be a significant advance for engineering practice. In this study, field tests consisting of vertical electrical sounding (VES) and CPTu data acquired at the same location were analyzed and...
