“…The electrical resistivity of geo-materials has attracted the attention of the researchers since 1912 when Schlumberger used the electrical resistivity measurements to characterize the subsurface ground (Griffiths & King, 1965). Since then, the need to understand the behavior of electrical resistivity of soils has been extended to different areas such as design of electrical earthing system, monitoring moisture content for agriculture applications, electro-osmosis consolidation and drainage of soils, and assessing the homogeneity of compacted clay liner (Laver & Griffiths, 2001;Lim et al, 2013;Rhoades et al, 1976;Abu-Hassanein et al, 1996;Tabbagh et al, 2002;Brillante et al, 2015;Jones et al, 2011;Al Rashid et al, 2018).…”
