| Abstract | The backfill soil of sites for constructing the power grid station is important because it relates to the grounding system and the drainage of an electric current into the soil. In power grid station design, backfill soil's resistivity measured from the source is validated to pass EGAT’s criteria. This study combined geophysical techniques and geotechnical techniques to investigate the backfilling soil. This research found that water content is the most important to control soil resistivity. However, the soil activity index is one of the parameters that can be helpful to estimate soil resistivity. |
