Participation of Vice – President for Administrative Affairs in Supervising on a Master Discussion at the University of Baghdad
The Vice -President of for Administrative Affairs, Prof. Dr. Hussein H. Karim participated in the membership and supervision of the discussion committee for MSc. student Mustafa Shamkhi Al-Qaisi / Earth Sciences Dept. / College of Science at the University of Baghdad,
" Subsurface Detection Using two-Dimensional Electro-Optical Scanning Technology in Southwestern Diyala Governorate.
The study aimed to determine the buried structures and determine the level and depth of groundwater in the study area by implementing nine two-dimensional survey points with a spacing of 0.5 meters between the electrodes. The depth reached is about 6 metres. The field data was processed using PROSYS II software with an automatic filter, and interpreted using RES2DINV software.
The study is located in area of Diyala University, about 20 km south of Baquba city in Diyala Governorate, where the engineering research at the site is important to refer to the subsoil of the proposed production sites. The utilization of the dipole array for electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) provides records of the geological layers and the subsurface condition, where a two-dimensional (2D) resistivity measurement was performed and the models showed a decrease in the subsurface resistivity (ranging from 1 to 3 ohms. Mineral waters, as well as the high level of groundwater in the area up to 2 meters.
The inverse 2D model of (A-Aʹ) showed the effect of underground structures (concrete casting) that contain plastic pipes with electrical wires inside, which we observed through the high specific resistance in this reverse model. The reverse model of the survey bulletin northeast of the study area (G-Gʹ) showed a high qualitative resistance compared to other survey points for the presence of layers of dry sand as well as some buried rubble from the old buildings of Diyala University. With regard to linking the specific resistance data with some geotechnical properties, it was found that the specific resistance has a direct relationship with the presence of sand and silt (dry), but it is inversely related to the presence of clay and groundwater.
