vestigation to Determine Causes of Structural Failures at a Factory Site in Benin City Nigeria A.I. Olayinka* (University of Ibadan) M.A. Oladunjoye (University of Ibadan) O.O. Osinowo (University of Ibadan) & G.O. Adeyemi (University of Ibadan) SUMMARY An integrated gravity electromagnetic and electrical resistivity geophysical survey was employed at a factory in Benin – city Nigeria with the aim of providing information on the nature and thickness of the different subsurface layers to unravel the causes of failures of some structures within the premises. Geophysical investigation has found useful applications in shallow engineering studies. To this end
