Abstract
Electrical geophysical techniques are widely used in the study of the subsurface, with many applications in geotechnical engineering. This work has the objective to identify geophysical anomalies that may be related to cavities or voids originated from the dissolution of limestone in karst environment, and to characterize the boundaries between geological units in the subsurface. Karst environments need to be studied carefully before any economic or social activity, as the unplanned use can pose risks for geotechnical and environmental accidents. This work was conducted at Guide / Mt. To achieve this goal the technique of electrical imaging (electrical profiling with high-density read points with dipole dipole) was used.
