Abstract: A multilayer soil structure model is fundamental to design grounding systems. A new method is presented to invert the structure parameters of horizontal multilayer soil. The structure parameters of soil are determined by analyzing the kernel function of the integral equation of the apparent resistivity. The essence of the proposed method avoids the difficulties encountered in general optimization methods; namely, the calculation of the apparent resistivity and its derivative.
