Abstract

A

Among resistivity methods, models containing two dipping discontinuity surfaces with a conductive medium between them have been considered in this study. The theoretical apparent resistivity curves obtained for such models were calculated using Alfano's integral equation for various dip angles of planes at different array distances from the contacts. The results obtained showed that it is possible to achieve the dip values of the discontinuities under particular conditions, but ambiguities cannot be ruled out.
