The use of the resistivity piezocone (RCPTU) for the geoenvironmental characterization of sulphide bearing tailings and native soils

Recent advances in the in-situ testing of sulphide bearing mine tailings have included the development of a resistivity piezocone (RCPTU) and improved water sampling technologies. The RCPTU measures the bulk resistivity of the soil, in addition to all other standard piezocone (CPTU) measurements....
