"Five electrical resistivity tomography (resistivity) case studies are presented. The first case study, entitled "Springfield Underground", includes ERT data acquired with the purpose of imaging the ceiling of an limestone aggregate mine following simultaneous localized roof failure. The interpretation of the ERT data indicates roof rock failure occurred at the intersection of two previously unmapped near-vertical solution-widened fractures.

At the "Chesterfield Dam" site, resistivity data were acquired to identify the zone of seepage through an earthfill dam. The seepage pathway beneath the dam is interpreted as through a solution-widened fracture, the top of which constituted a segment of the original …
