Summary The presence of naturally formed voids/cavities and solutioning channels in the subsurface karstic limestones can cause severe problems in civil/geotechnical engineering and mining projects. Peninsular Malaysia has various types of karstic limestone, sinkholes, solutioning cavities and channels. To effectively appraise the karstic formation, electrical resistivity and induced polarisation techniques have been proven a cost-effective solution for investigating subsurface bedrock profile, solution channels and its connectivity. A case study using 2-D electrical resistivity tomography and induced polarisation survey for a limestone quarry site is used to illustrate the successful application in identify the location of the karst features. Data processing has been carried out taking into consideration of the collective response of resistivity and induced polarization (IP)/chargeability that helps in interpreting subsurface strata, seepage path in the upper alluvial deposits, location of porous/jointed limestone rock mass or/and karst features with potential seepage flow, and the infilling condition of the joints and voids.

Summary Seismic refraction tomography and MASW analyses provided 2D compressional (Vp) and shearwave (Vs) velocity sections along the crest and downstream side of the Klong Sadao dam. The results of Vp and Vs investigation have shown that the settlement of material of the dam embankment is increasing with depth. Based on Vs30 values, the area falls in site class C and D, indicating the stiff soil to dense soil and soft rock beneath the dam. There are noticeable regions of weak zones as indicated by determined Poisson’s ratio. In addition, the calculated predominant period of the dam suggest that local earthquake with 0.1-0.4 s period can pose significant threat to the dam.

Summary The objective of this work was to quantify weathering profile based on durability for heterogeneous siliclastic sedimentary rock. The current engineering geological weathering classification is qualitative which is less suitable for engineering purposes especially for heterogeneous sedimentary rock. In current work, modified-wetting-drying test were performed because no sample preparation is required. Recemented sandstone did not react or change when subjected to 3 cycles of modified-wetting-drying testing. Unlike the moderately to highly weathered shale, rock samples disintegrated from each cycle. The disintegrated samples from each cycle were sieved to determine the fragment size distribution. Different weathering grades showed different patterns of fragment size distribution for slightly weathered recemented sandstone, moderately weathered and highly weathered shale.

Summary The paper presents the integration of geophysics and soil mechanics methods in investigate the properties and behaviour of clayey sand soil properties for slope study from March until April. The geophysical method used in this study is 4-D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), meanwhile soil mechanics used several laboratory tests, namely direct shear, moisture content, porosity, plastic limit and liquid limit. The infield survey using 4-D ERT was conducted for three different months and soil samples were collected along the survey line. The model resistivity with topography obtained showed all the ERT results gave a good results with RMS error between 2.4 - 2.4 %. Based on the model resistivity results, the subsurface of slope area can be divided into two main zone, dry clayey sand soil (100 - 550 ohm.m) and clayey sand soil (550 - 1300 ohm.m). The model resistivity results showed there are changes in electrical properties of soil, which associated with the moisture content, porosity and structure of soil itself during the three months of investigation period. In conclusion, the integration of both ERT and soil mechanics methods are capable to investigate the clayey sand soil’s properties and its behaviour during three months period.

Summary We have conducted finite difference simulation of wave propagation in a 3D shallow soil model with a surface irregularity similar to a river embankment. We found large scattering waves from edges of the surface layer in the synthetic vertical waves at sites on the surface along a surveying line of the crest. The scattering waves do not have significant effects on the dispersive features of Rayleigh waves at the sites close to the source location. However, the effects is large for the sites far from the source, and makes it difficult to apply ID surface wave theory to interpret observed data in the surface-wave exploration.

Summary In groundwater exploration, a geophysical method is needed to provide information and an overview of the subsurface conditions of the study area, and the most common practice for giving subsurface information is a geoelectric method or resistivity method. During the acquisition of groundwater exploration, Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) is the most preferred due to convenience and effectiveness. Schlumberger configuration will produce a subsurface profile vertically at an observation point and is the initial step to estimate the presence of aquifers in the groundwater exploration area. However, this method has several geological considerations leading to the inaccurate subsurface interpretation that the presence of dipping layers and subsurface structures such as fault are the main factors. Thus, the presence of that features can affect the modeling of resistivity values and subsurface thickness during interpretation process of the resistivity method. This then becomes the basis of the authors conducting a study that aims to determine the accuracy of the layer thickness produced by the VES resistivity method. However, the existence of subsurface structures is also difficult to predict if there are no supporting by surface data, hence the study modeling of subsurface conditions using a sandbox model will be carried out.
