Non-invasive moisture monitoring within an earth embankment – A precursor to failure

Last updated on 02 September 2014 4:31
An experimental monitoring system is described using electrical resistivity as a proxy for imaging changing moisture content distribution in engineered earthworks. The approach is illustrated using a case history concerning a road embankment constructed of tropical red soil in Kenya. Tropical red soils have highly variable properties, governed by...
