Abstract:Mapping of the subsurface is a vital procedure during construction. It enhances hazard zonation, planning and protection of engineering structures. The present study centres on an area susceptible to foundation instability and building collapse in Enugu State, southeastern Nigeria. The study followed an integrated research method by employing a geotechnical approach and geophysical surveys such as electrical resistivity and remote sensing performed using Landsat, Aeromagnetic and shuttle radar topography missi… Show more
