Abstract

This paper presents to examine the ability of an electrical resistivity method to monitor the grouting effect at subsidence area. To monitor the changes in ground resistivity before and during the grout, series of electrical resistivity monitoring surveys have been conducted. Data has acquired in the form of grid making nine lines parallel to road and four lines traverse the road. Two kinds of electrode arrays modify pole-pole and dipole-dipole arrays were used during resistivity data acquisition. In this paper, the results show that electrical prospecting is an effective method to detect low resistivity imaging zone by grout during the ground reinforcement.
