Abstract
Before beginning construction on any civil structure, it is imperative to conduct a soil investigation to determine the soil’s parameters and to learn about the subsoil’s behavior. A thorough analysis must be performed, taking into account the foundation’s cost-effectiveness and any potential overdesign. In the early stages of a soil investigation, geophysical testing is used to find out about the subsurface. This is because geophysical tests are fast, easy to do, do not cause damage, and are cost-effective. In this study, subsurface profiling is performed using the inverse slope approach after resistivity tests are performed at numerous sites on varying terrain types. We generate a subsurface profile using inverse slope electrical resistivity testing and compare it with bore log data to identify any discrepancies. The results of the inverse slope method and the bore log data are comparable at different depths; further, the range of agreement of both results is determined by Bland–Altman analysis.
