Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSeasonal Variation of Soil Resistivity and Soil Temperature in Bayelsa StateJohn Tarilanyo Afa, C. M. AnaeleProblem statement: Due to the climatic variation for the year and it's sever harmattan during the month of December to March with the high keraunic level (80-90) in the areas, it was necessary to know the seasonal variation of soil resistivity. The seasonal variation and the nature of soil have considerable influence on electrical characteristics and therefore affect the earthling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Cement Kiln Dust on the Soil Electrical ResistivityHamid Ranjkesh Adarmanabadi, Arezou Rasti, Mehrdad RazaviElectrical resistivity is a non-destructive, cost-effective and sensitive method to evaluate soil's physical and chemical properties. Electrical resistivity has been used widely in surface and subsurface exploration. The electrical resistivity is directly related to the subsurface geotechnical and geothermal properties like porosity, temperature, salinity and water content. Recently uses of waste material as an additive to improve the soil engineering … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2021 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigations of Two-Layer Earth Parameters at Low Voltage: Measurements and CalculationsRamdan E. Rajab, N. Mohamad Nor, K. RamarProblem statement: The two-layer soil model at low magnitude voltage is assumed to be accurate for the measurement and calculation of the earth resistance of a combined grid-multiple rods electrode. The aim of this study is to measure and calculate the earth resistance of a combined grid-multiple rods electrode buried in a two-layer soil and to confirm the simplicity and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Moisture Content on Thermal Properties of Adobe Bricks as a Sustainable Building MaterialSuleman Modu NgaramThe adobe is a widely used traditional material in popular building construction in rural areas of Northeastern, Nigeria and more generally in African countries. In order to increase comfort and energy efficiency of buildings, it is necessary to better consider the thermal properties of the adobe. Adobes at different locations as a function of moisture content have been studied. Thermal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2020 · 10,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Soils Electrical Resistivity using Artificial Neural Network ApproachKpomonè Komla Apaloo-Bara, Adekunlé Akim Salami, Mawugno Koffi Kodjo et al.The knowledge of the ground electrical resistivity is essential to ensure the protection of electrical and telecommunications networks. However, the monitoring of its values is an expensive task which takes long time. Therefore, its prediction is important. This study investigates on predicting soil electrical resistivity using Artificial Neural Networks. Nine sites of our city (Lome, TOGO) were considered. After characterization … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2019 · 9,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeoelectrical Resistivity Imaging and Refraction Seismic Investigations at Sg.Udang, MelakaZeinab Asry, Abdul Rahim Samsudin, Wan Zuhairi Yaacob, Jasni YaakubProblem statement: A Reconnaissance geophysical survey of an area near Sg.Udang, Melaka was conducted using geoelectrical resistivity and seismic refraction methods. The main objective of this study is to determine the depth of bedrock in the study area. The resistivity imaging measurement employing Wenner electrode configuration was carried out using an ABEM SAS 1000 terrameter and electrode selector system ES464. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 13 Jun 2012 · 8,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Electrical and Electromagnetic Investigation for Contaminated SiteAlberto Godio, Mario NaldiProblem statement: The environmental assessment of industrial areas is required to minimize the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. The survey of wide areas (e.g., some hectares) provides a high economical and complex logistical impact when random strategies of soil sampling are adopted. Recently, geophysical methods had been successfully adopted to drive the process of the spatial sampling of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Calculation and Measurement Techniques of Earth Resistance ValuesN. Mohamad Nor, R. Rajab, K. RamarMuch research has been published in the literature on the mathematical approaches to obtain the most accurate earth resistance and resistivity values. However, the published research only conducted the comparisons among the mathematical/computational techniques and so far none has conducted validation tests of these mathematical/computational methods against the real earth resistance measurement at real field sites. Thus, the main contribution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
