A recent study published in African Scientific Reports investigates the use of electrical resistivity surveying methods to assess subsurface conditions for safer foundation design. Using constant separation traversing with the Wenner array and vertical electrical sounding with the Schlumberger array at the Abubakar Abdulsalam Hall area, University of Ibadan, the study identified three major subsurface layers: topsoil, weathered basement, and fresh bedrock. The findings show that low-resistivity weathered, fractured, clayey, or saturated zones may pose risks to shallow foundations, while deeper high-resistivity layers offer better foundation-support potential. This work supports geotechnical evaluation, subsurface mapping, foundation stability assessment, and safer civil engineering site planning.
