Abstract

Several types of methods such as resistivity survey, ground penetration radar, etc are used for detection of levee leakage and according to the river design guidelines detection of levee leakage is performed by measuring the hydraulic conductivity of levee soil. But, the former can not verify the leakage point and degree of saturation, the latter is an after treatment method. Movable sensor, which is a high-tech TDR system developed since 2000, can obtain directly the dielectric constant profile covering the whole depth of levee. In this study, laboratory and field model experiments were carried out using movable TDR sensor in order to evaluate the applicability as detection system of levee leakage, As the result, movable TDR system has proven to be 3 times more sensitive to water contents than dry unit weight, and the results conclude that the dielectric constant, water contents and density of the ground proved to have a correlation among them, and the dielectric constant is expected to be a basic data on detection of levee leakage.

하천제방 누수측정 방법은 전기비저항탐사 및 GPR탐사 등이 사용되고 있으며, 하천설계기준에 의하면 제방의 누수 시 시추를 통한 제체재료의 투수계수를 측정하는 방법을 사용하고 있지만 전자의 경우 정확한 누수위치와 제체의 포화정도를 알 수 없으며, 후자의 경우 누수가 발생한 뒤 시추를 통한 조사방법으로 사전에 예측할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 한편, 이동식 TDR센서는 2000년 이후 개발된 첨단화된 TDR기법으로서 관측공을 따라 측정센서를 연속적으로 유전상수를 측정함으로써, 기존 TDR기법과 달리 제방 깊이별 유전상수를 측정할 수 있는 효율적인 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 이동식 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)센서를 이용하여 제방누수 모니터링시스템의 성능을 평가하고자, 하상재료(모래) 및 제체재료(화강풍화토)의 다양한 비교실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 이동식 TDR시스템은 건조단위중량에 비해 함수비가 3배 이상 민감하게 반응하며, 이동식 TDR 센서를 사용하여 측정된 유전상수값은 지반의 함수비, 밀도와 일정한 상관관계를 나타내고 있음을 확인하였으며, 제방 누수탐사에 관한 기초자료로서 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
