Abstract
Preliminary geotechnical characterization for large-scale infrastructure projects is often hindered by the high cost and logistical constraints of intrusive borehole drilling. This study proposes a robust, non-invasive methodology to estimate the allowable bearing capacity (qa) using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) resistivity (ƥ).
Keywords: Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES); Bearing Capacity; Power-Law Model
