Abstract
Foundation designs planning is very critical in engineering works, therefore geophysical investigation was carried out for foundation design of a proposed Dam at IyahGbede, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State with a view to deduce and enhance the knowledge of the near subsurface integrity of the area for engineering structures.Electrical Resistivity method was adopted to conduct the survey for detail and distinct result. The aim of the exercise was to determine the soil properties of the subsoil layers that constitute the foundation soils and their competence as foundation soils for a dam site establishment. Traverse lines were established along E-W direction and six (6) Vertical Electrical Sounding points (VES) which is one dimensional in prospect, werelaid which to reveal the subsurface property of the area.The VES curves types are AA,AH, HA and KH,which depicts that the investigated site is competent for the proposed dam project.
