Technical Trends of Domestic and Overseas on Electro-physical Properties Measurement

전기물성 측정의 국내외 기술 동향

Electrical and electromagnetic methods were widely applied to survey of civil engineering, environment site assessments and maintenance of underground structures in Korea. Electro-physical properties measurements of soil and rock are necessary in order to quantitatively estimate the ground from these survey results. A few geotechnical researcher groups have been simplified measurement system of the electro-physical properties, which was intermittently operating by the necessity. Recent strong concern about $CO_2$ underground storage and development of gas hydrate projects have urged many advanced countries. The electro-physical properties estimation of the deep object stratum is very importance for basic information of these research. So, advanced countries have a high-end measurement system with high temperature(200 degrees) and pressure(300 MPa), also they have been a lot of experience and know-how on the electro-physical properties measurement.
