Summary

We repeated the electrical resistivity surveys at each stage of the corrective works of landslides in order to find the most proper location of drainage and to judge the effect of the work. As a result of these surveys, we were able to assure that this method is very useful not only in assessing the effect of drains, but also in determining the location of ground water drainage.

Résumé

Nous avons répété les examens de résistivité électrique à chaque étape des travaux correctifs de l’éboulement de terre pour trouver le lieu le plus propre à faire écouler des eaux et pour juger l’effet de cet écoulement. Par suite de ces examens, nous pouvons affirmer que cette méthode est très utile non seulement à juger l’effet des travaux d’écoulement, mais aussi à déterminer le lieu propre à faire écouler des eaux souterraines.
