A bstract A study is made of the possibility of calculating electric potentials, and therefore of interpreting apparent resistivity measurements, when the ground presents structural conditions more complicated than plane, parallel stratification. For this work a schematic type of structure has been chosen, in which the discontinuity planes for electric resistivity are both parallel and perpendicular to the level of the ground. The problem has been examinated in its general aspect, and then some criteria for the numerical calculation have been indicated. Some calculated examples are presented, relevant to vertical electric soundings accomplished by conventional technique, for particular types of structure.
