Recently, resistivity surveys have been frequently carried out over the irregular terrain such as mountainous area. Such an irregular terrain itself can produce significant anomalies which may lead to misinterpretations. In this study, topographic effects in resistivity survey were studied using the physical scale modeling as well as the numerical one adopting finite element method. The scale modeling was conducted at a pond, so that we could avoid the edge effect, the inherent problem of the scale modeling conducted in a water tank in laboratory. The modeling experiments for two topographic features, a ridge and a valley with various slope angles, confirmed that the results by the two different modeling techniques coincide with each other fairly well for all the terrain models. These experiments adopting dipole-dipole array showed the distinctive terrain effects, such that a ridge produces a high apparent resistivity anomaly at the ridge center flanked by zones of lower apparent resistivity. On the other hand, a valley produces the opposite anomaly pattern, a central low flanked by highs. As the slope of a terrain model becomes steeper, the terrain-induced anomalies become stronger, and moreover, apparent resistivity can become even negative for the model with extremely high slope angle. All the modeling results led us to the conclusion that terrain effects should be included in the numerical modeling and/or the inversion process to interpret data acquired at the rugged terrain area.

Resistivity tomography has become an important tool to image underground resistivity distribution. This method has been widely applied to site investigation for engineering and environmental purpose. In resistivity tomography, various electrode arrays can be used and each array has both merits and demerits. For example, the pole-pole array has high signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), but its resolution is too low. The dipole-dipole array has low S/N ratio, but its resolution is very high. The Pole-dipole may has intermediate Snf ratio and resolution. The modified Pole-dipole array, recently proposed, shows reasonable S/N ratio and resolution, which are comparable to the pole-dipole array. These electrode arrays except the pole-pole array, however, have the problem that the apparent resistivity can diverge at some special electrode Positions. Also, the Pole-Pole array may not reflect the doe resistivity of an anomalous body. In this study, we propose a new electrode array, mixed array, where pole-dipole and modified pole-dipole ways are selectively used with the relative positions of current and potential electrodes. The mixed array has the same level of S/N ratio and resolution as the pole-dipole array and the apparent resistivity does not diverge in the receiver hole. Furthermore, the apparent resistivity using the array can reflect the true resistivity of the anomalous body.

The filtering ability of $J_0$ and $J_1$ digital linear filters is compared by means of an adaptive linear filter. Any $J_0$ domain Hankel transform integral can be transformed mathematically into its corresponding $J_1$ domain integral. The apparent resistivities for any electrode configuration employed in resistivity soundings can be evaluated with a single $J_1$ filter. The $J_1$ filter usually has similar accuracy to, but shorter length than, the corresponding $J_0$ filter. The domain transformation from $J_0$ to $J_1$ enables us to use effective expressions of apparent resistivity, involving $J_1$ alone, not only for Schlumberger but also for dipole-dipole array.

A numerical program has been developed to model 2-D resistivity responses for a pole-pole array configuration in cross-hole resistivity measurements. Apparent resistivity and secondary potential were computed using the program for a cylindrical inhomogeneity in an uniform host medium excited by a point source of current in a borehole. Surprisingly apparent resistivity in the receiver hole turns out to be lower than the one of surrounding medium regardless of the conductivity of cylindrical inhomogeneity. Using only cross-hole data, therefore, it is impossible to interpret the conductivity of inhomogeneity. To overcome this problem, 3-D measurement and interpretation are necessary. If 3-D data acquisition is impossible, inline data should be used to get the information about the conductivity of inhomogeneity.

To evaluate reinforced region of dike by cement grouting, we investigated both the electrical resistivity and the strength of cement grout having various water-cement ratio with curing time. These investigation results showed that the electric conductivity of grout is much higher than that of water and that the apparent resistivity of grouted region is much lower than that of unoccupied region by grout. It was founded that electrical resistivity survey might be quite effective to detect grout region in dike. As the results of electrical resistivity sounding at three dikes, apparent resistivities after grouting showed several tens to several hundreds of ohm-m which were lower than those of pre-grouting and showed stabilizing trend with curing time. From these results, we could estimate that this behavior of apparent resistivity is due to increasing strength with curing time.

The effect of reinforcing bars embedded in concrete varies depending on the position of the electrode in the electrical resistivity measurement. In this study, the apparent resistivity according to the electrode arrangement is analyzed for each measurement angle. Through this, it is intended to be used to improve the accuracy of measurement in the concrete resistivity.

Electrical resistivity monitoring methods were adopted to detect groundwater table change in alluvium. Numerical modelling test using finite element method(FEM) and field resisfivity monitoring were conducted in the study. The field monitoring data were acquired in the alluvium deposit site in Jeong-Dong Ri, Geum River where pumping test had been conducted continuously for 20 days to make artificial changes of groundwater table. The unit distance of the electrode array was 4m and 21 fixed electrodes were applied in numerical calculation and field data acquisition. "Modified Wenner" and dipole-dipole array configurations were used in the study. The models used in two-dimensional numerical test were designed on the basis of the simplifving geological model of the alluvium in Jeong Dong Ri, Geum River. Numerical test results show that the apparent resistivity pseudosections were changed in the vicinity of the pootion where groundwater table was changed. Furthermore, there are some apparent resistivity changes in the boundary between aquifer and crystalline basement rock which overlays the aquifer. The field monitoring data also give similar results which were observed in numerical tests. From the numerical test using FEM and field resistivity monitoring observations in alluvium site of Geum River, the electrical monitoring method is proved to be a useful tool for detecting groundwater behavior including groundwater table change. There are some limitations, however, in the application of the resistivity method only because the change of groundwater table does not give enough variations in the apparent resistivity pseudosections to estimate the amount of groundwater table change. For the improved detection of groundwater table changes, it is desirable to combine the resistivity method with other geophysical methods that reveal the underground image such as high-resolution seismic and/or ground penetrating radar surveys.

변산반도 서부 해안지역의 소규모 유역에 대하여 대수층을 통한 해수침투의 범위를 공간적으로 규명하기 위하여, 시추자료를 포함한 전기비저항 탐사와 지하수의 수질분석을 실시하였다. 전기비저항 탐사는 다층 구조로 되어있는 대수층 내 지하수의 수질변화 특성을 효과적으로 탐지해 낼 수 있는 수직탐사법을 이용하였으며, 탐사결과 겉보기비저항 곡선은 H type에 해당함을 알았다. 시추에 의해 3층 구조로 밝혀진 연구지역에 대하여 총 30 지점에 대한 H type 수직탐사 자료의 1차원 역산결과, 중간층과 상/하부층의 비저항 크기 차이가 크게 나타남에 따라 이 연구에서는 고전도도 지역, 중간지역, 저전도도지역 등 3가지의 영역으로 구분하였다. 15개 지점의 천부 지하수 관정에서 채취된 지하수 시료 분석결과를 TDS에 대한 HCO3/Cl과 Ca/Na 몰비로 도시하였는데, 그래프의 기울기에 따라 크게 2가지 그룹으로 구분되었다. 수직탐사의 3가지 영역과 지하수 수질 분석에 의한 2가지 그룹을 비교한 결과 낮은 농도의 HCO3/Cl과 Ca/Na를 나타내는 관정은 고전도도 지역에 위치하며, 높은 농도의 HCO3/Cl과 Ca/Na를 나타내는 관정은 저전도도 지역에 위치하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이 연구에서 제시한 바와 같이 전기비저항 수직탐사 결과와 지하수 수질분석 결과를 복합 해석하는 경우 시추자료가 제한적인 해안지역 대수층을 통한 해수침투 범위를 효과적으로 규명할 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

To verify reinforcing effect of grouting materials on the water leakage region in dike, we performed various hydraulic test and we also applied electric resistivity survey including electrical resistivity tomography(ERT) to see resistivity variation before and after grouting. As the results of dipole-dipole array survey along dike, resistivity distribution after grouting was without noticeable spatial variation. Long term resistivity monitoring results at dike with Schlumberger array electric resistivity survey showed that the decreasing region of apparent resistivity and one dimensional inversion results were the occupied region by grout after grouting. From the ERT using check holes to inspect the effect of grouting, we could find that the ERT is quite effective to evaluate spatially grout region in dike.
