ASSESSMENT OF PROBABLE FOUNDATION PROBLEMS USING GEOPHYSICAL AND REMOTELY SENSED DATA IN A TYPICAL BASEMENT COMPLEX, SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA.

Abstract

This research work asses the problems of building foundation within Sagari Estate, Akure, Southwestern Nigeria, using remotely sensed data and geophysical methods. The slope, lineament, hill, and contour map were generated using terrain analysis in ArcGIS 10.5 environment. Electrical Resistivity (ER) and Very Low Frequency (EM-VLF) Electromagnetic methods were used in this study. The ER method involves the use of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) with Schlumberger configuration. The initial geoelectric parameters obtained from the fifty three (53) VES station points interpretation (layer resistivities and thicknesses) were used to generate geoelectric maps. The variation of strata and physical strength information within the investigated area were determined from the integrated results of the three methods. Results revealed that substantial portion of the areas studied is relatively unsuitable for high rise civil engineering foundations. However, it was showed that the northern and southern parts of the investigated area were more suitable for foundations. The dominant presence of lineaments, steep slopes , fractures, streams, and thick clayey topsoil as well as weathered layers within the western, eastern, and the central portions reveals susceptibility to subsidence if adequate structural supports mitigate the effect of the persistent foundation failure are not provided.
