| Abstract | Since a great flood has inundated the campus of AIT on 21 October 2011 the original flood dike, which has served the Institute for more than 40 years, was rebuilt by raising the height and widening the base to sufficiently protect AIT from the same magnitude of flood. Flood dikes are subject to hidden threats such as termite nests, weak soil zones and crack in the dyke body and its foundation. This study applies the engineering geophysical techniques to investigate the AIT flood dike using Electric Imaging (El) method. As resistivity surveys were conducted along a dike are very much affected by the dike topography and high resistivity of the surrounding air, therefore the important issue in this study was to find out the correction factor for resistivity measurements along the dike and it was successfully done in this study based on 3D geoelectric modelling. A total of 9 El survey line were conducted and soil layers, weak zones and cracks are detected from corrected 9 survey profiles. |
