Fractured Zone Type Landslide and Electrical Resistivity Survey - 1 - (On the usefulness of the electrical resistivity survey at fractured zone type landslide areas)

Abstract

The electrical resistivity survey was conducted at some fractured zone type landslide areas in order to check upon the usefullness of the electrical resistivity survey at such areas. Results provied the electrical resistivity survey very usefull at fractured zone type landslide areas. The following information was obtained using the electrical resistivity survey ; 1. An outline of the bedrock form and the existing depth of the bedrock surface at the investigated landsile area. 2. Thickness of slide layer and existing depth of slide surface. 3. Presence of underground water. 4. Supposition of an easy movement mechanism of the investigated landslide area.
