Abstract

Point-wise geotechnical site testing in complex geological settings providing refined geo-mechanical information demands costlier drilling budget. Due to absence of suitable transforms geoelectrical imaging results cannot be directly translated to geotechnical knowledge. Here, in a case study we show that 2-D Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and induced polarization tomography (IPT) profile data along with projected geotechnical data (Standard Penetration Test (SPT)/Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT)/Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT)) from a pair of nearby boreholes/locations can provide 2-D sections of different formation parameters, geotechnical tests and parameters on the same profile.
