  • Abstract:
    This project was a natural extension of the 1996-1997 void detection work completed by the USGS for ; ODOT. This earlier project was entitled “Detection of Underground Mine Voids in Ohio by Use of ; Geophysical Methods” and was published as U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water-Resources ; Investigations Report # 97-4221. This report discussed several possible geophysical techniques that ; might be successful at detecting mine voids. The only geophysical technique tested during this earlier ; research project was ground penetrating radar. The report indicated that the likelihood of detecting ; variations in electrical resistivity due to the presence of abandoned underground mine voids was sufficient ; to warrant further investigation. ; The approach for the current research project reflects the proposed completion of the investigation of ; electrical resistivity measurements for this purpose. This proposed research approach would benefit the ; Office of Geotechnical Engineering as a continuation of research related to finding effective methods for ; identifying and evaluating roadway locations where abandoned underground mines exist.
