In this work, we propose to determine the apparent resistivity of heterogeneous ground to several layers. To this end, we evaluate by the Matlab programming the model of ground with two layers on the one hand and stress a relation allowing calculating the apparent resis- tivity of the ground model to several layers on the other hand. These results confirm those found by the finite element method and the relation suggested by IEEE [2000] which makes simply the resistivity average of the various ground layers
