Abstract

In this paper, a methodology has been proposed according to which, after carrying out a set of soil's resistivity measurements using Wenner Four-probe data, one can compute the parameters of the multilayer earth structure using a genetic algorithm(GA). The results provided by the GA constitute the indispensable data that can be used in circuital or field simulations of grounding systems. The methodology allows to proceed toward a very efficient simulation of the grounding system and an accurate calculation of potential on the ground's surface.
