Geoelectrical-Geotechnical Studies for Near Surface Characterization, Case History: Lagos, SW Nigeria

~ C252e8992e5c017b0b83eed580f3ea94.200x200

Incessant building collapse and foundation failures in Nigeria have continued unabated in recent years, causing loss of lives and properties worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars. This research in Gioni estate Lakowe, Lekki-Epe, Lagos, Nigeria is concerned with an integrated characterization of near-subsurface geomaterials using geoelectrical resistivity tomography and geotechnical...
