Abstract
Abstract
The allowance for the influence of a vertical contact is evaluated on Wenner resistivity sounding curves, which are graphically constructed on bilogarithmic paper over simple composite earth models consisting of a vertical contact separating two‐ or three layered earth on one side and a homogeneous medium on the other side. The error incurred in the graphical constructions is explored.
Finally, the use of these graphically constructed sounding curves is shown in the interpretation of two Wenner field soundings measured in a complex geologic area.
