  Post foundation study of the causes of distress on the Faculty of Social Science building, Phase I, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti was carried out using geophysical approach. The geophysical methods used were the magnetic and electrical resistivity. The magnetic measurements were taking at an interval of 5 m along the established three traverses. The magnetic data were presented as profiles and interpreted using Euler deconvolution software. The Vertical Electrical Sounding data were quantitatively interpreted using partial curve matching technique and 1-D forward modelling with Win Resist software. The dipole-dipole data were inverted using DIPPROTM software. The magnetic profiles delineated two subsurface layers; the overburden and the Basement bedrock. Series of geological linear structures were delineated by the ground magnetic. The VES results reveal three subsurface geoelectric l.. View More»
