Geophysical Investigations for the Foundation study of Zita Bridge……………….…………..…………..May, 2020
ABSTRACT
Refraction Seismic and Vertical Electrical Sounding Surveys were carried out to investigate the
foundation condition of Zita bridge to be erected across Zita river situated in south Gondar zone
about 25km from Tach Gayint town.
The study area is characterized by very thick alluvial deposits; the nature of which had obstructed
the smooth operation of drilling activities, especially in the central part of the riverbed. Therefore,
among other objectives, the main objective of the geophysical investigation was mapping of the
interface between alluvial deposits and the bedrock.
To this end, a contract was signed between Civil Works Consulting Engineers (Contractor) and
Geomatrix plc. (Consultant). The latter has been conducting the geophysical investigations using
state-of-the art geophysical instruments with standard measurement procedures.
These techniques were applied under difficult measurement conditions, however, due to special
procedures and data controls, high quality data could be obtained. After the necessary data
analysis procedures, 2D p-wave tomographic images and geo-electric section were produced.
Subsequent, Interpretation of the results has clearly demarcated the interface between the alluvial
deposits and the bedrock (basalt,) in addition to providing detail information on the nature and
characteristics of the subsurface units.

Geophysical Investigations for the Foundation study of Zita Bridge……………….…………..…………..May, 2020
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Background
Civil works Consulting Engineers plc has requested Geophysical investigations for
the foundation study of the Zita bridge to be erected across Zita river, some 25km
to the southeast of Tach Gayint town, in south Gondar zone. The bridge has over
300m span.
The study area is characterized by very thick alluvial deposits; the nature of which
had obstructed the smooth operation of drilling activities, especially in the central
part of the riverbed. Therefore, Seismic and electrical resistivity survey (VES)
methods were proposed mainly to determine the interface between the alluvial
deposits and the bedrock and also study the nature of the subsurface units.
Geomatrix plc. has been conducting the geophysical investigations accepting the
contract offer by Civil works Consulting Engineers (CWCE).
The study line along the bridge is located in Amhara region, South Gandar zone,
between UTM (Adindan)geographic coordinates of 464263mE, 1280083mN and
464567mE,1280135mN. The site is about 800km to the north east of Addis Ababa
(Fig. 1).
The geophysical survey is mainly aimed at mapping the interface between the alluvial
deposits and the bedrock and also investigating the subsurface bridge foundation
conditions. The specific objectives of the study include:
Define lithology and main geological features of the subsurface rocks;
Characterize the quality of rocks on the basis of p-wave velocities of the
underlying rocks of the study areas;
Mapping depth to and nature of the bedrock;
Define nature and thickness of overburden material;
Identify ground water conditions in the area;
Detect geological structures (fault and shear zones, contacts, etc.).
The geophysical Line is located along proposed Zita bridge which is located in
Amhara region, South Gandar zone, between UTM (Adindan)geographic
coordinates of 464263mE, 1280083mN and 464567mE,1280135mN. The site is
about 800km to the north east of Addis Ababa (Fig. 1). It is reached through
gravel road crossing Enzite, Dyaqa and Aneseta villages.

The VES observations were carried out using the modern state of the art
Advanced Geophysical Instruments (AGI), SuperSting R1/IP electrical resistivity unit,
USA (Fig. 3). Supersting is a portable IP/RES unit which is widely applied for
Resistivity and Induced polarization surveys. It can Measure apparent resistivity,
Self potential (SP) & Induced polarization (IP). Its measurement range is ± 10V
with a resolution of Max 30nV. The unit has an output current and power of
1mA-2A and 200W respectively.

The refraction seismic data acquisition procedures and parameters used along
the entire line were the same. A high resolution seismic data acquisition
processing technique with 7shots/spread was applied to obtain information up
to 40m with high quality data. These include: Direct, three Central, Reverse,
Direct and Reverse offset shots. All shot points were made every 25m interval.
Moreover, two subsequent spreads were overlapped using 4-geophones; that is
an in-line-profiling survey technique was employed (Fig. 4). The field parameters
used then are indicated in table 2.

The Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) survey was carried out using
Schlumberger array with a maximum current electrode spacing of AB/2=220m,
which enables a minimum depth of investigation of 70m. The VES observation
points were determined in the field on the basis of ground conditions and
project objectives. Data quality has been controlled by plotting and analyzing
the VES data in the field with higher accuracy(below 0.5%).

The topographic surveying (pegging and labeling works were made using GPS
(Garmin 72H) for the layout of the geophysical line and elevation readings. The
main problem during the execution of the fieldwork was encountered in
grounding geophones inside the riverbed and gravel covered surface. This
problem was overcome by assigning laborers at the very difficult positions and
also vertically fixing the geophones using the materials in the field.
Moreover, establishing ground contact with the electrodes was also among the
major problems noted which was, somehow, managed despite, the longer time
spent in the field.
Furthermore, it is important to mention here that a good effort was made in the
field to minimize curvature error and ambient noisy conditions. Therefore, the
geophysical data was collected to standard and the data quality was high.
Measurement error for all methods was found to be below 2%.
The field data is processed in the conventional manner, by manual work (using T-0
method) and with computer aided software. In the course of the present study,
the partially processed, corrected and checked data have been used to
produce Wet-tomographic sections through refined delta t-v inversion, which
were in turn latter refined by the wet - tomographic inversion method (Gerard T.
Schuster ,1993).
The mean unsigned error by the latter inversion method was generally found to
be below 2.0 milliseconds. The corresponding refraction seismic time–distance
curve (first breaks and their corresponding fits (difference between measured
(instantaneous) and inverted (CMP layer) are shown in App. A.
The final processed models are produced using the standard RAYFRACT software
using the Delta tv and Wet inversion models and interpreted in view of the
objectives of the project (Fig. 5 ).

3.2 VES
The observed apparent resistivity at each VES point was plotted against half
current electrode separation (AB/2) on a double logarithmic paper of modules
62.5mm. The raw data were initially smoothed to remove noisy signals. The VES
curves were then processed manually using partial curve matching techniques
where two layer master and Auxiliary curves (Orellana, 1972) were employed.
The layer parameters obtained this way are used as an input to produce final
interpretation models (App. C), using standard forward and inversion computer
program “Resist” (Velpen, 1988), to get more refined layer parameters. These
were systematically corrected to minimize anisotropic problems. The final
models were then used to produce the geoelectric section in Fig. 6.
The Refraction seismic survey makes use of p-wave velocities to demarcate the
interface between the sediments and the bedrock while the electrical resistiviies
is used to study the resistivity distribution of the subsurface and jointly identify the
nature and characteristics of the subsurface units.
The Vertical Electrical Sounding penetrates deep but is relatively less accurate
than the refraction seismic method. The depth of investigation by the later
method is shallower but is more accurate. Since the maximum depth of the
alluvium is not known the combination of the two methods is expected to
complement the required information to meet the survey objectives.

The Refraction survey was conducted along the axis of the bridge connecting
BH-1 and BH-8, at stations 0+287 and 0+547 respectively. The line stretches
between a point about 10m to the SSW of BH-1 to a point about 10m to the NNE
of BH-8, marked by UTM geographic coordinates of 464263mE, 1280083mN and
464567mE,1280135mN respectively. Its elevations vary between 1447m a.s.l and
1463m a.s.l (Adindan).

Moreover, probable fracture zones are indicated in the central part of the line
around stations 100 and 205(Fig. 5).
In addition, from groundwater point of view, the riverbed with p-wave velocities
between 1500 and 3000m/sec is interpreted a groundwater saturated zone. The
aquifer comprises both alluvial deposits and fractured and weathered basalt
(Fig. 5).

determined accurately, while often unique solutions are obtained from seismic
survey if a high quality data is obtained and these are analyzed by an
experienced expert. Nevertheless, in rock/soil characterization and in the
study of nature of subsurface units they are helpful if used jointly. With regards
to mapping interface boundaries, sometimes, satisfactory results can also be
obtained, depending on the terrain and measurement conditions.
The very high resistivities at relatively intermediate depths around BH-1 and BH-8
are related with the bedrock which is expected to be dry. The relatively lower
resistivities (26-43ohm-m)at depths below 17m may be attributed to the
fractured and weathered water bearing bedrock.
The actual boundary demarcated by the 26-86 Ohm-m in the central zone with
depth between 16-25m and the top of the very high resistivity (712-759ohm-m)
zone at the extreme ends of the line, with depths between 3-5m could be
considered as the interface between alluvial sediments and the bedrock. The
maximum depth to the bedrock is mapped around station 200 which agrees
well with the seismic and borehole results.
Moreover, the VES survey has indicated presence of very fresh rocks at depths
over 60m, reflected by very high resistivities (above 240 ohm-m) in the central
part of the area.

Geophysical methods comprising 2D-Refraction seismic and VES surveys have been
carried out for Zita bridge to be erected across Zita river whichis about 25km to the
southeast of Tach Gayint town in south Gondar zone. The investigations were
mainly aimed at determining the interface between the alluvial deposits and
the bedrock and also study the nature of the subsurface units.
Top units
Upper part: Stiff clayey gravel with sand represented by p-wave
velocities below 1500m/sec and resistivities in the range of 18-53
ohm-m. Its thickness is varies from 2m to5m;
Lower part: Silty clayey sand with gravel and highly weathered and
fractured basalt depicted by 1500-2500m/sec (at the abutments)
and 2000-3000m/sec (in the riverbed). These are represented by
widely varying resistivities (96-360 ohm-m). The thickness of these
units is within 5-20m. The average sediments thickness between
stations 90 and 250 is about 17m.
Intermediate units
Bottom units
The aquifer in the study area comprises of alluvial deposits and fractured
and weathered basalt mainly in the riverbed. The units with p-wave
velocities between 1500m/sec and 3000m/sec are interpreted as
groundwater saturated.
5.1.3 Structures
Two most probable fracture zones are indicated in the central part of the
line around stations 100 and 205.

The quality of the subsurface rocks generally increases with depth from highly
to moderately weathered/fractured to slightly weathered/fractured and to
fresh and very fresh basalt respectively;
Accordingly the subsurface units are classified as soft, soft to moderately soft,
moderately hard, hard, very hard and extremely very hard, etc (table 7). The
very hard rock units in the central part of the study area are generally deep
(around 220m). The hard rock slopes towards the center mainly in the
northeastern extreme.

5.2 Recommendation
On the basis of our site investigations and subsequent results we would strongly
like to recommend the following specific measures:
The probable fractures within the bedrock must be closely assessed and
due care be taken;
The road has to be re-designed considering the actual foundation
conditions of the subsurface; it has to be founded on a stable and fresh
bedrock represented by 3000m/sec p-wave velocities and above for
the road is a trunk road.
Furthermore, seismicity of the area is very important to understand the
effect of regional Faults on the bridge to be erected.
