Pingyin county located in the transition zone between the western offshoot of Taishan Mountain and the plain of western Shandong province. It is high in the southern part and low in the northern part. It belongs to the weathered hilly and mountainous region with a shallow cut structure. Karst is well developed in and around the county, which may have certain influence to local living houses and production. In order to find bad effects caused by collapse and other geological hazards, the distribution of underground karst, solution cavity, other bad geological bodies and approximate thickness of the Quaternary system in this area have been investigated by using high density resistivity method. This method can gain a good application effect.
