EXPLORATION AND DETECTION OF SINKHOLE IN GOPENG, PERAK WITH EMPHASIS ON ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY IMAGING

Sinkhole collapse is one of the main limitation on the development of karst areas, especially where bedrock is covered by unconsolidated material. Studies of sinkhole formation have shown that sinkholes area likely to develop when the limestone bedrock dissolve by flowing groundwater. Gopeng is beli...
