The resistivity of soils depends on grains size, porosity, water saturation, pore fluid resistivity, caly contents and son on. It is very important to understand the relationship between resistivity and such physical properties of soils, in order to interpret and evaluate ground conditions by using resistivity data obtained from electrical resistivity prospecting. In this paper, to study the relationship between resistivity and physical properties of soils, the resistivity of glass beads and compacted soil samples both in saturated and unsaturated conditions is measured. As the results, the resistivity of saturated soils depends mainly on porosity and clay contents, while that of unsaturated soils is sensitive to compaction conditions, and decreases with increasing water content until the optimum water condition, that is the maximum dry density. But, the relationship between resistivity and water saturation for soils is unique, being independent of compaction energy. Also, the resistivity ratio decrease with increasing water saturation, followed by no significant change of resistivity ratio over 80 percent of water saturation (the optimum water content).

For an equivalent uniform soil model to multiple-layered soil structure, ground depth, which is used in the calculation of equivalent resistivity, should be varied according to the size of grounding area. In case of 150 kV substation grounding design, 15 m of ground depth has been used and 25 m for 345 kV, But applying these ground depths can lead to errors in grounding resistance calculation, and these errors are coming from the poor representation of those depths to real soil resistivities. In this paper, the soil resistivity measurement techniques by Wenner method and grounding resistance calculation results by computer simulation were presented. Case studies contain the area from 3,000 to $30,000\;m^2$ and measuring space from of m to $100{\sim}250\;m$, Based of the computation results, 50 m, 60 m and 80 m of ground depth for less than 30, 40 and 70 m of equivalent hemispherical radius were proposed respectively.

In order to mitigate the possible hazards from electric shock due to the touch and step voltages, the high resistivity material such as gravel is often spread on the earth's surface in substations. When the grounding electrode is installed in two-layer soil structures, the surface layer soil resistivity is different with the resistivity of the soil contacted with the grounding electrodes. The design of large-sized grounding systems is fundamentally based on assuring safety from dangerous voltages within a grounding grid area. The performance of the grounding system is evaluated by tolerable touch and step voltages. Since the floor surface conditions near equipment to be grounded are changed after a grounding system has been constructed, it may be difficult to determine the tolerable touch and step voltage criteria. In this paper, to propose an accurate and convenient method for evaluating the protective performance of grounding systems, the propriety of the method for evaluating the current flowing through the human body around on a counterpoise buried in two-layer soils is presented. As a result, it is reasonable that the grounding system performance would be evaluated by measuring and analyzing the current flowing through the human body based on dangerous voltages such as the touch or step voltages and the contact resistance between the ground surface and feet.

This paper deals with the transient ground impedance of small-sized needle-rod installed in a test field, Impulse voltage generator was used to inject lightning impulse on a ground electrode and modified fall-of potential method was proposed to measure the high ground potential rise. Transient ground impedance was analysed with impedance curve and I-V curve as respects the resistivity of soil. Soil ionization near the ground electrode is activated in high resistivity soil and have an effect on the reduction of transient ground impedance significantly.

현재 우리나라의 접지시스템의 설계기준은 낮은 주파수에서 측정된 저항값을 기반으로 한다. 고주파 성분을 포함하는 뇌서지가 접지시스템에 인가되면, 접지임피던스는 정상상태의 저항과 매우 다르게 된다. 이 논문은 접지시스템의 고주파 성능에 대한 물의 저항률의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 대지를 모의하는 수조를 이용하여 물의 저항률에 따른 어드미턴스의 주파수 의존성을 기술하였다. 500[${\Omega}{\cdot}m$] 이상의 높은 물의 저항률에서 용량성 효과에 의해 주파수가 증가함에 따라 어드미턴스와 컨덕턴스가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 500[${\Omega}{\cdot}m$] 미만의 낮은 저항률에서는 유도성 효과에 의해 주파수가 증가함에 따라 어드미턴스와 컨덕턴스가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 200[kHz]에서 5[MHz]에 이르는 주파수 범위에서 전류와 전압의 위상차가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 접지시스템의 주파수 의존성은 대지의 저항률과 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 주파수와 대지저항률이 접지시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향에 대한 고려가 필요하다.

Alluvial beds are intimately associated with electrical properties related to soil types, including clay mineral content, porosity, and water content. The hydraulic property governs water movement and storage in alluvial beds. This study revealed electrical resistivity and hydraulic properties in space and time in relation to the hydrogeological data, groundwater pumping, and rainfall infiltration into the alluvial bed located in Daesan-myeon, Changwon City. An electrical resistivity survey with electrode spacings of 2 and 4m using a dipole-dipole array indicates that electrical resistivity changes in the alluvial bed depend on groundwater pumping and rainfall events. Additionally, rainfall infiltration varies with hydraulic conductivity in the shallow zone of the alluvial bed. The 2 m electrode spacing survey confirms that electrical resistivity values decrease at shallow depths, corresponding with rainfall and increased water content in the soil, indicating rainfall infiltration approximately 1-2 m below the land surface. The 4m electrode spacing survey reveals that hydraulic conductivity (K) values and electrical resistivity (ρ) values display an inverse relationship from the surface to the water table (approximately 9 m) and at deeper levels than the water table. Notably, ρ values are impacted by pumping around the depth of the water table at 9 m. This study suggests that time-lapsed electrical resistivity surveys in space and time could be effective tools for detecting the impact of rainfall and pumping, as well as hydraulic conductivity in shallow alluvial beds.

간척지의 연약지반 평가를 위해 전기비저항 모니터링을 실시하여 물리탐사기법의 적용성을 알아보고자 총 3개월에 걸쳐 전기비저항 모니터링 자료를 획득하였고, 이 자료들을 독립역산, 시간경과 역산, 4D 역산법으로 해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 각 역산 방법들의 비교를 통해 연약지반의 변화 특성을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 역산방법을 파악하고자 하였다. 또한, 시추자료와 콘 관입시험(Cone Penetration Test; CPT) 자료를 이용하여 각 역산방법들이 기반암과 연약지반을 명확히 구분 하는지 알아보았다. 시간경과 역산의 경우 독립역산 보다 역산 잡음이 감소하여 연약지반을 잘 반영한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 4D 역산은 3개월 데이터 보다 장기의 데이터를 사용하면 시간경과 역산법보다 효율적인 해석방법이 될 수 있음을 파악하였다. 연약지반에서의 전기비저항 모니터링은 지반의 시공간적 전기적 상태를 연속적으로 분석 할 수 있는 유용한 방법임을 확인하였다.

When surges and electromagnetic pulses from lightning or power conversion devices are considered, it is desirable to evaluate grounding system performance as grounding impedance. In the case of large-sized grounding electrodes or long counterpoises, the grounding impedance is increased with increasing the frequency of injected current. The grounding impedance is increased by the inductance of grounding electrodes. This paper presents the measured results of frequency-dependent grounding impedance and impedance phase as a function of the length of counterpoises. In order to analyze the frequency-dependent grounding impedance of the counterpoises, the frequency-dependent current dissipation rates were measured and simulated by the distributed parameter circuit model reflecting the frequency-dependent relative resistivity and permittivity of soil. As a result, the ground current dissipation rate is proportional to the soil resistivity near the counterpoises in a low frequency. On the other hand, the ground current dissipation near the injection point is increased as the frequency of injected current increases. Since the high frequency ground current cannot reach the far end of long counterpoise, the grounding impedance of long counterpoise approaches that of the short one in the high frequency. The results obtained from this work could be applied in design of grounding systems.
