Abstract
Resistivity which is one of the physical parameters of material plays an important role in many fields of research and application. Especially in geotechnical field, it is a necessary parameter to estimate effect in underground constructions, to protect the buildings from electrochemistry and designing lightning-conductors, etc.<p>Some methods can be used to get the true resistivity of geological environment, in which vertical electric sounding (VES) is one of the most usual methods has been used for the resistivity testing. <p>In this paper, we introduce the average resistivity maps of Ho Chi Minh city, based on the Zohdy method with a huge of VES points carried out in Ho Chi Minh city.
