Abstract:The present study investigates the nature and characteristics of soil piping using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Magnetic geophysical techniques at Awka, Nigeria. The VES survey was conducted using a Pasi resistivity meter, while the ground magnetic survey was carried out using a proton precision magnetometer. The VES survey revealed two to five distinct geo-electrical sections and fourteen characteristically sounding curves, which indicate vertical changes in the subsurface. The findings illustrate t… Show more
