Interpretation of peat soil layer depth using Schlumberger's rule

Abstract

A study has been conducted to determine the depth of peat soil layers. This study was designed by applying the Schlumberger method. Peat soil samples were taken from Jalan Paus Pekanbaru. From the results of the study, it can be said that the designed tool can be applied to interpret the depth of peat soil layers, with a good level of accuracy. The minimum error rate is 40%, and the maximum error rate is 50%, for the depth variations studied. The results of the study indicate that the designed tool is more accurate for analyzing deep peat soil layers, which is around 70 cm with an error rate varying from 40% to 7.1%. While for a shallow depth of 20 cm, the error rate is greater, varying from 25% to 50%.
