Abstract
The knowledge of soil electrical and thermal resistivity finds its application in many of the real life engineering projects like laying of high voltage buried power cables, ground modification techniques etc. This necessitates determination of soil electrical resistivity and thermal resistivity and development of a relationship between them. However, as these resistivities mainly depend on the type of the soil (i.e. its physical composition) and its saturation, efforts have been made in this paper, to develop a generalized relationship to relate them. Validation of the relationship has been conducted vis-Ã -vis the results obtained from the laboratory experiments and those reported in literature.
