Abstract | The delineation of sand and clay layers to determine exact positions of the sand interconnections by using refraction seismic and resistivity methods in Changwat Nonthaburi area were carried out at 10 stations covering the 70 km2 area. Hammer refraction seismic tests were found to be inappropriate for this investigation due to the low depth of penetration. The resistivity sounding results showed a high agreement with the results of geological well-log data analysis and the categorization made based on well-log data analysis as to the relative positions of the first two sand layers, where one part of the area is termed connected and the other unconnected was confirmed by the resistivity soundings carried out in the area. |
