Abstract

Regular monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of geotechnical structures. Currently, nondestructive methods are employed to monitor such structures to minimize the impact, e.g., sensor-based accelerometers, displacement meters, image-based lasers, and drone imaging. These technologies can observe surface changes; however, they frequently suffer difficulties in terms of identifying changes in internal properties. To monitor changes in internal properties, in situ geotechnical investigations can be employed. A nondestructive test that can be used for this purpose is the spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW) test using geophones. The SASW test is a nondestructive method; however, due to the time required for data interpretation and the difficulty in analyzing the data, it is challenging to use the SASW test for monitoring applications that require frequent observations. However, it is possible to apply the first-step analysis, which yields the dispersion curve, for monitoring rather than the complete SASW analysis, which yields the shear wave velocity. Thus, this paper presents a fundamental study on the phase difference that derives the dispersion curve to utilize the SASW test for monitoring. The reliability of each phase difference interval is examined to determine the boundary to the subjected monitor. The study used phase difference data obtained using a geophone from a single-layered, homogeneous ground site to evaluate reliable boundaries. The findings of this study are expected to improve the utility of monitoring by identifying the ideal boundary for phase difference data.

건설된 지반구조물을 안전하게 유지하기 위해 정기적인 모니터링은 매우 중요하다. 현재 유지관리를 위해 센서를 기반으로 하는 가속도, 변위계, 이미지를 기반으로 하는 레이저 혹은 드론 영상 촬영 등 지반구조물에 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 비파괴방식이 활용되고 있다. 해당 기술들은 표면의 변화를 관찰할 수 있지만, 내부 물성값 변화 파악에는 어려움이 있다. 지반구조물의 내부 물성값 변화를 모니터링하기 위해 현장 지반조사법이 도입될 수 있으며, 이를 위해 활용될 수 있는 비파괴시험에는 지오폰을 활용한 Spectral-Anlysis-of-Surface-Wave(SASW) 시험이 있다. SASW 시험은 비파괴시험이지만, 데이터 해석에 드는 시간과 분석에 어려움으로 인해 잦은 관찰을 요구하는 유지관리 모니터링의 용도로 활용이 어렵다. 하지만, 전단파 속도를 도출하는 복잡한 SASW 최종 해석이 아닌 분산곡선을 도출하는 1단계 해석만으로도 모니터링에 적용할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 SASW 시험을 모니터링에 활용하기 위해 분산곡선 도출에 필요한 위상각차 데이터에 관한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 위상각차 구간별 신뢰도에 대해 검토하여 데이터 모니터링에 활용이 가능한 범위에 관하여 확인하였다. 이를 위해 단일 층으로 구성된 균질한 지반 현장에서 지오폰을 활용하여 계측한 위상각차 데이터들을 활용하였다. 본 연구를 통해 활용할 수 있는 위상각차 데이터 구간을 파악해 모니터링의 활용성을 높일 것으로 기대된다.
