Description

Cross Reference to Related Applications

Background
During the process of soil settlement or compaction, the texture anisotropy develops due to the influence of the tendency of the non-spherical particles to align. The texture anisotropy in turn leads to anisotropic responses of flow-related soil properties, such as resistivity (conductivity) anisotropy, thermal conductivity anisotropy, and permeability (water conductivity) anisotropy. Because all of these flow phenomena are similar processes, and resistivity is relatively easy to measure in the flow-related properties of these unsaturated soils, resistivity of the soil is often used to assist in predicting other flow characteristics, such as water conductivity and even related anisotropic responses. Existing methods for measuring anisotropic resistivity are expensive or difficult to measure for unsaturated soils. The traditional four-electrode method can only measure the apparent resistivity of soil and cannot measure the anisotropy of the resistivity.
