Geotechnical Investigation along TX State Highway 36 Objective: Roadway Geotechnical Survey for clay moisture content mapping Survey date: July, 2007 Survey site: Cameron, TX, USA Instrument: SuperSting R8/IP with 112 electrodes at 2m spacing Electrode array: Dipole-dipole Processing: Inversion of data using EarthImager 2D inversion software Units: Meter and Ohmmeter Info Brazil: Tel.: 21 2556-1295 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.alphageofisica.com.br SuperStin by g 8-channel Resistivity Instrument Data courtesy of the Texas Dept. of Transportation, TX USA Road Geotechnical Investigation Resistivity Imaging was performed along TX State Highway 36 west of Cameron, TX. The goal was to map the moisture-bearing clay lithologies that make up the subsurface in this area. These “black clays” result in differential settling that causes damage to the roadway.
