Abstract
In this paper a methodology has been proposed to compute the parameters of the multilayer earth model 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. This methodology allows to proceed toward a very efficient simulation of the grounding system and an accurate calculation of potential on the ground's surface. The sets of soil resistivity used for GA are measured in Jeju area.
