| Abstract | Khao taem damsite, Western Thailand, is situated in a massive Limestone terrain having solution cavities as the potential cause of water leakage from the reservoir. Geophysical surveys including electrical resistivity profiling, self potential survey and cross hole shooting seismic surveys were carried out to assess their applicability for exploration of solution cavities below the floor of adit E which
is in line with the proposed location of grouting galleries' on the right abutment. Self potential surveying and cross hole shooting seismic surveys could not give any quantitative results on the location of solution cavities, however, the self potential surveys could locate the clay filled zones. Results of electrical resistivity profiling with
half Schlumberger configuration at some places correspond to the bore hole information but do not correlate with the subsurface conditions everywhere. |
