Abstract

Thirty-two Schlumberger and 26 Wenner vertical electrical soundings (VES) were conducted to delineate the structural/geotechnical features of the overburden/bedrock underlying the mini-campus of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, southwestern Nigeria. The results show that the resistivity values vary from 21-965Ώm and 300-10,500Ώm within the overburden and the bedrock respectively. Five significant depressions and two major normal fault axes were also delineated. Suspected fault zones or axes, bedrock depressions and low resistivity (
