  The Geoelectrical Evaluation of Subsoil for Building Foundation Design Considerations in Sedimenyary of Ondo State
  Author(s): Ezomo F. O*
  
  The study area is underlain by sedimentary basin of Ondo State, which underlain by the Coastal Alluvium, Coastal Plain sands, Imo Shale group, Upper Coal measures and Nkporo Shale, geophysical investigation was carried out at Irele in Ondo south in Irele local government to determine the structural competence of the subsurface geological strata for building construction and other foundation purposes, using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) survey technique of the electrical resistivity method. With a view to investigations the image of the subsurface geology, to characterize the soils in terms of their engineering geological properties in view of determining their suitability for building the foundation and assessing the two methods in determine building foundation requirements in the study areas. Twenty Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were quantitatively interpreted using the pa.. View More»
