DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF CONE FOR MEASURING THE RESISTIVITY OF SOIL

Abstract

In order to obtain better information of soil with stratification and contaminated zone of subsoil, two types of cones for measuring the resistivity of soil were developed. To examin the feasibility of the instrument the laboratory experiments were carried out using the cones and consolidation test apparatus. The results showed that the theoretical relationship between resistivity and voltage for soil can be applied in fields.
