STRUCTURAL DISTURBANCE ANALYSES AT SHALLOW DEPTH: SAMPLE CASE STUDY AT THE SURROUNDING OF S.U. LAW FACULTY BUILDING
Abstract
It is aimed here to perform electrical resistivity measurements to define ground differentiation especially for 10-20 meters depth. This research purposed to evaluate the groundwater condition around Selcuk Univers ity, Law Faculty building groups in Alaaddin Keykubat campus. After the electrical resistivity tests, ground resistivity graphics were drawn for further researches on buildings’ structural analyses. The results supplied several cross-sectional 2-D resistivity graphics which were used to understand the groundwater condition below the Law Facu lty Buildings. This research was then lead also to evaluate the dry river embankment’s water seepage below its sediments originated from Bozdag Mountain at North-West side of the Selcuk University Campus. Electrical resistivity tests performed especi ally concentrated on the dry river banks located around the Law Faculty Buildings. The results of this rese arch are believed to supply valuable information to understand vertical deformation of the Faculty buildings by demonstrating groundwater flow direction passing under them. At the end of the tests the groundwater flow depth and its lateral distributions were also determined.
