Sinkholes and subsidence are natural phenomena can be occurred in shallow geologysediments at different regions in the world. Sinkholes assessment is one of the most difficult nearsubsurface investigations. Geophysical prospecting is appropriate method to determine environmentaland geotechnical problems. 2D multi electrodes resistivity imagining with Wenner-Schulmberge arraywas conducted within active sinkholes area. The objective of the survey is to detect features combinedwith sinkhole formation like zone of weakness, cavities and fractures. Soil in the study area containsalluvial, conglomerate and silty clay which represent good target for resistivity survey. Theinterpretation of resistivity data along the profiles show different model of the resistivity variation inactive sinkhole zones compared with inactive zones in the study area. The deformation in the layercontinuity and the direct contact between high resistive and low resistive layers can appear only in thesubsidence area or active sinkhole zones. |
