Improving Geotechnical Investigations for Underground Transmission Lines
An evaluation of the thermal properties of the soils that surround underground transmission lines is an important part of existing design procedures for underground power cables. Geotechnical investigations consisting of in-situ and laboratory thermal probe tests, soil sampling and determinations of moisture and density are frequently performed to evaluate the thermal resistivity of soils encountered along proposed transmission line routes. These investigations often are based on routine procedures adopted over the years but not necessarily reflecting all the information and techniques now available in the fields of agronomy and geotechnical engineering. The paper demonstrates how information and techniques used by agronomists and geotechnical engineers can be correlated and then used to improve our capability of predicting in-situ thermal soil properties. Also, suggestions for improving existing procedures for evaluating the thermal resistivity of soils are provided.
