Ground investigation using 2D resistivity imaging for road construction
Haryati Awang1, Rini Asnida Abdullah2, Sabira Abdul Samad3.
This paper présents finding on the ground exploration using 2D resistivity imaging. The
study was conducted to verify the borehole result, which shows a conflict between the
actual site conditions. The proposed study is to investigate of high topography area for
road construction. Electrical resistivity imaging method was used for estimating bedrock
at Bandar Sri Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan. The site consist of acid intrusive igneous, which
is dominantly covered by granite. Two lines of resistivity survey were conducted to
identify ground material of this area. The survey was conducted using ABEM Terrameter
equipment, where a two-dimensional resistivity profile has been identified for ground
exploration and subsurface profiling. The resistivity images showed the existence of
boulders and bedrock in multiple weathering grades with resistivity values ranges from 50
to 10 000 ohm-m along the proposed road alignment. The presence of these boulders
and weathered bedrock probably not suitable to be used as domestic supply for road
material such as crushed aggregate especially at depth less than 30m from surface. Soil
or overburden was discovered 12m from the surface. The finding shows the mismatched
between the borehole result and resistivity profile, where the borehole data was
interpreted as bedrock however the resistivity result proved that it is a boulder.
