“…Surveys with application of resistivity cone in a soil medium supply detailed data on its structure (Antoniuk and Mościcki, Daniel et al, 1999;1994;Antoniuk and Mościcki, 2001;Yoon et al, 2011;Kowalczyk et al, 2015), the relation between electrical resistivity and the clay content (Zawrzykraj, 2005;Long et al, 2012), the relationships between electrical resistivity and soil behavior type index I c , relative density (Cai et al, 2016), or detect contaminated soil layers (Antoniuk and Mościcki, 2001;Fukue et al, 2001;Mondelli et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2009). Moreover, the results of such measurements are extremely valuable in the interpretation of standard, surface geoelectrical surveys, restricting the natural ambiguity of these methods (Antoniuk and Mościcki, 1994;Kowalczyk et al, 2015).…”

The paper presents an application of the geoelectrical method in organic soils occurring in the area of a designed investment. Two techniques have been applied: electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) and measurements with a resistivity cone penetration test (RCPT). ERI measurements made using Schlumberger and gradient arrays have allowed to obtain a two-dimensional image of resistivity variability in the soil medium. RCPT measurements have enabled an accurate observation of vertical changes in electrical resistivity (or conductivity) in the soil medium in selected measurement points. Electrical resistivity is a physical parameter that may reflect the variability of the geological medium with regard to lithology if the range of conductivity of water filling the pore space is narrow. When it is properly calibrated with borehole data, ERI interpretation allows to determine the boundaries between different soil layers. Adaptation of the "cumulative resistivity" method to RCPT data enabled to distinguish layers characterized by different physical properties and corresponding to boundaries of geological-engineering layers. ERI and RCPT measurements conducted during expressway construction have contributed to the recognition of soils of low bearing capacity such as organic soils (peats, gyttja and aggradate muds).

“…The DC resistivity value depends on several geological factors such as the texture class, the minerals present, the moisture content, porosity, these properties change when the soil is exposed to some type of contamination, in this case by organic compounds, which causes an increase in soil resistivity [24][25][26][27].…”

Soil Contamination - Current Consequences and Further Solutions

Soil contaminated with hydrocarbons (HC) in all over the world is a recurring problem arising from distribution, storage and illegal connections. A wide range of methods are used in all the world like remediation with biological and physicochemical treatments, however, for the purpose of reducing time and increasing the scope of new technologies that have proven its viability in experimental laboratory tests later tested implemented on field are necessary. One of the main advantages of electroremediation processes (ER) is the relatively short implementation time as well as its ease of removing contaminants in highly heterogeneous soils with low permeability. In this chapter, the ER process is described starting from the laboratory scale, determining the supporting electrolyte used, through the choice of material of the electrodes as well as its configuration; finally pilot-scale implementation and fieldwork.

“…It is necessary to detect whether the site was contaminated before construction. Conventional investigation including field sampling and chemical analysis might be essential, but are expensive and time consuming (Fukue et al, 2001). How to quickly, reliably, and easily detecting whether the site was contaminated had drawn several researchers into this study area (Campanella and Weemees, 1990;Kaya and Fang, 1997;Ahn et al, 2007), and had obtained many useful conclusions.…”
