Study of electrical resistivity on the location and identification of contamination
Abstract
Electrical resistance studies were conducted in two laboratory models to determine electrical resistivity relationships and to use those defined relationships to identify contamination spikes. A good correlation was established between resistance data and the composition of leachate and copper spiked leachate gelatin blocks under study. The major variable that could not be eliminated from this study which had the greatest effect on data was moisture content. This thesis contains a review of the theory and field application of electrical resistivity, a description of the experimental approach used, and a summary of the data collected.
