Abstract :
The paper summarises the findings of an extensive field investigation into the behaviour of soils affecting operation of buried power cables. Statistical treatment of the large volume of results available leads to the establishment of thermal-resistivity values for defined groups of soils and the main types of load encountered in practice.
