2020
T.A. Adagunodo and O.P. Oladejo
This study is aimed at mapping the geoelectrical variations in the residential area of Ojongbodu, Oyo, Nigeria. Thirty vertical electrical sounding stations were occupying across the study area using PZ-02 Earth resistivity meter. Four subsurface layers involving topsoil, two weathered layers and bedrock were mapped, with clay being the most dominating soil type in the third layer, which is about 3.9 m below the first two layers. The thickness of the third layer itself is about 10.4 m. About 70% of the bedrock is fractured. The thickness of clay in the third layer cum fractured bedrock could aid development of differential settlements in buildings or total collapse of structures within the study area.
