Electric potential and apparent resistivity in rocks containing non-uniformly distributed cracks

In this paper, the formula of electric field distribution and ground apparent resistivity of high resistance rock medium containing low resistance crack are deduced and simulated. The result shows that interstitial parameters, such as buried depth, scale, strike, and real resistivity, etc, have infl...

Summary:In this paper, the formula of electric field distribution and ground apparent resistivity of high resistance rock medium containing low resistance crack are deduced and simulated. The result shows that interstitial parameters, such as buried depth, scale, strike, and real resistivity, etc, have influence on observation and computing result of apparent resistivity. This study provided a useful foundation for earthquake prediction using apparent resistivity method.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
