ABSTRACT
Due to the complexity involved in the equations of modeling and the characteristics of soil in which the earth grid is to be buried, it is somewhat difficult to analyze ground grid in depth for the purpose of optimization. The soil almost exhibits vertical and horizontal variations due to the atmospheric factors and/or artificial treatments such as gravelling, add-on of some chemicals etc.
