Beacon Drive commercial site resisitivity probe line setup along landslide scarp by Junfeng Zhu, KGS (11/14). |
(Not at this site) to show how the 84 probes are arranged for the resisitivity testing. |
Zunfeng Zhu showing students how the resistivity testing equipment works and how the data is then analyzed by the program and displayed. Photo by David Dockstatder (11/14). |
Display of the resistivity line at this site analyzed by the program. Red is higher resistivity and blue is lower resistivity. The lower the rsistivity the more likely water is saturating the rock unit. Photo by Zunfeng Zhu (11/14). |
At the Beacon Drive commercial site. Note the area where the yellow girders were installed to correct the offset of the sewage line by the slope movement. Photo bt Mike May (11/14). |
