Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract This study conducts numerical simulations using the boundary integral equations method to model electric resistivity tomography for investigating an embankment dam. Computational speed is enhanced by formulating the direct problem in integral equations and employing the Fourier transform along the strike direction, thereby reducing the 2.5D problem to a set of 1D integral equations. Synthetic data obtained for potential installations are interpreted using the inversion programme ZondRes2D. The impact of varying dam slope angles and the resistivity of interfacing media on interpretation outcomes is systematically evaluated across different dam models. Main geometric anomalies associated with the three‐dimensional structure of the dam are described.
