Abstract

Abstract

This study conducts numerical simulations using the boundary integral equations method to model electric resistivity tomography for investigating an embankment dam. Computational speed is enhanced by formulating the direct problem in integral equations and employing the Fourier transform along the strike direction, thereby reducing the 2.5D problem to a set of 1D integral equations. Synthetic data obtained for potential installations are interpreted using the inversion programme ZondRes2D. The impact of varying dam slope angles and the resistivity of interfacing media on interpretation outcomes is systematically evaluated across different dam models. Main geometric anomalies associated with the three‐dimensional structure of the dam are described.
