Abstract

Application of ground conductivity meter data for mapping of geological subsurface layers with the use of 1D inversion.A b s t r a c t. This article presents the results obtained from geophysical measurements as a supplement to and refinement of geological information obtained from engineering geological studies for the newly constructed highways. The research was conducted using two geophysical methods: Ground Conductivity Meters (GCM) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). The above measurements were made on three research fields located along the planned express road S-19 (Kraśnik–Janów Lubelski section). These areas were selected due to the large amount of available archival data and varied geological conditions. The publication focuses primarily on the presentation of the results obtained using the very fast and extremely efficient GCM method. By processing GCM data, using Laterally Constrained Inversion (LCI) and SpatiallyConstrained Inversion (SCI) algorithms, the values of electrical resistivity of the surveyed centers were derived. The results are presented in the form of cross-sections and maps of electrical resistivity from different depths, which were collated and compared with the results from another geophysical method, ERT. These examples show that the use of inversion has a significant impact on the refinement of geological boundaries between layers of different electrical resistivities. Thanks to the correlation of geophysical data with boreholes and engineering geological probes, detailed models of the geological structure of the analyzed areas were elaborated, which are necessary for the selection of appropriate solutions for the construction and modernization of road infrastructure.
