  ABSTRACT: A study of excavated material on the Gagnoa-Guéyo-Bamenadou road project in southwest Côte d’Ivoire was carried out using electrical resistivity tomography with a dipole-dipole configuration. This study aimed to determine the nature and volume of the studied cuts. Based on the cumulative distances of the longitudinal sections of the road alignment superimposed on the tomographic profiles, a cumulative volume of 104681 m3 of material was determined. This volume comprises 88557 m3 of soft cuts and 16,124 m3 of rocky cuts, which can be reused in specific embankment zones. This work may, therefore be useful in the characterization of cuts in a preliminary design study, in order to anticipate changes during the road’s development and asphalting.
