Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Complex permittivity of hydrated soil contained in lands was measured as a function of the water volume content for land-slides prognostication from low frequency (LF) to medium frequency (MF) bands. The main emphasis is placed on a simple test equipment, which consists of top and bottom electrodes in a plastic cylinder for filling some solutions. From the results, it was obvious that the loss tangent was larger than those of the soil and water themselves due to the ionization. In addition, the complex permittivities of live and dead leaves, woods, and stones existing the surface of the lands were also measured by using the test equipment to estimate the effective permittivity of the forest. The evaluation of the complex permittivities was successfully performed by using the test equipment from very low frequency to medium frequency bands.
