변산반도 서부 해안지역의 소규모 유역에 대하여 대수층을 통한 해수침투의 범위를 공간적으로 규명하기 위하여, 시추자료를 포함한 전기비저항 탐사와 지하수의 수질분석을 실시하였다. 전기비저항 탐사는 다층 구조로 되어있는 대수층 내 지하수의 수질변화 특성을 효과적으로 탐지해 낼 수 있는 수직탐사법을 이용하였으며, 탐사결과 겉보기비저항 곡선은 H type에 해당함을 알았다. 시추에 의해 3층 구조로 밝혀진 연구지역에 대하여 총 30 지점에 대한 H type 수직탐사 자료의 1차원 역산결과, 중간층과 상/하부층의 비저항 크기 차이가 크게 나타남에 따라 이 연구에서는 고전도도 지역, 중간지역, 저전도도지역 등 3가지의 영역으로 구분하였다. 15개 지점의 천부 지하수 관정에서 채취된 지하수 시료 분석결과를 TDS에 대한 HCO3/Cl과 Ca/Na 몰비로 도시하였는데, 그래프의 기울기에 따라 크게 2가지 그룹으로 구분되었다. 수직탐사의 3가지 영역과 지하수 수질 분석에 의한 2가지 그룹을 비교한 결과 낮은 농도의 HCO3/Cl과 Ca/Na를 나타내는 관정은 고전도도 지역에 위치하며, 높은 농도의 HCO3/Cl과 Ca/Na를 나타내는 관정은 저전도도 지역에 위치하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이 연구에서 제시한 바와 같이 전기비저항 수직탐사 결과와 지하수 수질분석 결과를 복합 해석하는 경우 시추자료가 제한적인 해안지역 대수층을 통한 해수침투 범위를 효과적으로 규명할 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The borehole radar methods used to tunnel detection are mainly classified into borehole radar reflection, directional antenna, crosshole scanning, and radar tomography methods. In this study, we have investigated the feasibility and limitation of each method to tunnel detection through case studies. In the borehole radar reflection data, there were much more clear diffraction signals of the upper wings than lower wings of the hyperbolas reflected from the tunnel, and their upper and lower wings were spreaded out to more than 10m higher and lower traces from the peaks of the hyperbolas. As the ratio of borehole diameter to antenna length increases, the ringing gets stronger on the data due to the increase in the impedance mismatching between antennas and water in the boreholes. It is also found that the reflection signals from the tunnel could be enhanced using the optimal offset distance between transmitter and receiver antennas. Nevertheless, the borehole radar reflection data could not provide directional information of the reflectors in the subsurface. Direction finding antenna system had a advantage to take a three dimensional location of a tunnel with only one borehole survey even though the cost is still very high and it required very high expertise. The data from crosshole scanning could be a good indicator for tunnel detection and it could give more reliable result when the borehole radar reflection survey is carried out together. The images of the subsurface also can be reconstructed using travel time tomography which could provide the physical property of the medium and would be effective for imaging the underground structure such as tunnels. Based on the results described above, we suggest a cost-effective field procedure for detection of a tunnel using borehole radar techniques; borehole radar reflection survey using dipole antenna can firstly be applied to pick up anomalous regions within the borehole, and crosshole scanning or reflection survey using directional antenna can then be applied only to the anomalous regions to detect the tunnel.

Underground urbanization appears to be a promising solution in response to the shortage of construction sites in the above-ground space. In this context, an accurate evaluation of a construction site ensures the long-term performance of geosystems. This study characterizes potential sites for complex plants built in underground space using geophysical methods (i.e., seismic refraction exploration and electrical resistivity survey) and in situ tests (i.e., standard penetration tests (SPTs) and downhole tests). SPTs are conducted in nine boreholes BH-1-BH-9 to estimate the groundwater level and vertical distribution of geological structures. The seismic refraction method enables us to obtain the elastic wave velocity and thickness of each soil layer for each cross-sectional area. An electrical resistivity survey conducted using the dipole array method provides the electrical resistivity profiles of the cross-sectional area. Data obtained using geophysical techniques are used to assess the classification of the soil layer and bedrock, particularly the fracture zone. This study suggests that geotechnical information using in situ tests and geophysical methods are useful references to design an underground complex plant construction.

물리검층은 주로 석유탐사 분야에서 개발·이용되어왔으나 소구경 시추공을 이용하는 지반조사. 자원평가, 지하수조사 또는 환경오염조사 등에서 물리검층의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 국내에서 수행된 물리검층은 우라늄 탐사 목적으로 1980년 전후로 많이 수행되었으며 1990년 중반에는 지하수 조사에 일부 활용되어 왔다. 현재 물리검층의 활용도가 증가하고 있는 분야는 지반조사 분야로 원위치 물성측정, 시추공과 교차하는 암반의 균열파악 등 터널, 교량과 같은 각종 토목분야의 지반조사에 많이 활용되고 있다. 이외에도 지하수 유동특성 규명이나 환경오염조사, 자원평가(지열, 온천, 석·골재, 금속광상 등)에도 활용되고 있다.

To delineate the inhomogeneities including fractures and to estimate the freshness of rock borehole radar consisting of the reflection and tomography methods, and GPR surveys were conducted at a granite quarry mine. The borehole reflection survey using the direction finding antenna was also conducted to get the spatial orientations of reflectors. 20 MHz was adopted as the central frequency for the borehole radar reflection and tomography surveys and 100 MHz was for GPR. Through the interpretation of borehole reflection data using dipole and direction finding antenna as well as GPR images, which are good agreement with each other, we could determine the orientation of the major fractures in three dimensional way. Parts of travel time curves of tomography data showed the anisotropy, which is uncommon in granite quarry. By comparing the tomography data and TeleViewer images, the anisotropy effect in this area are closely related to fine fissures aligned in the same direction. The area confined by the two fractures, MF2 and MF5, might consist of the most fresh granite in the surveyed area, which was concluded from the borehole radar tomography, and GPR images as well as the distribution of anisotropy.

We employed electrical resistivity and optical borehole imaging methods to identify underground cavities and determine ground subsidence rate at the study area affected by land subsidence due to abandoned underground mines. At the study site 1, the anomalous zones of low resistivity ranging between 100 ohm-meter and 150 ohm-meter were observed and confirmed as an abandoned underground mine by subsequent borehole drilling and optical borehole imaging. Although the electrical resistivity survey was unavailable due to the paved surface of the study site 2, we were able to locate another abandoned underground mine with the collapsed mine shaft based on the distribution of the ore veins and confirmed it with borehole drilling. In addition, we measured vertical displacements of underground features indicating underground subsidence by conducting optical borehole imaging 6 times over a period of 43 days at the study site 2. The displacement magnitude at the deep segment caused by subsidence appeared to be 3 times larger than those at the shallow segment. Similarly, the displacement duration at the deep segment was 4 times longer than those at the shallow segment. Therefore, the combination of electrical resistivity and optical borehole imaging methods can be effectively applicable to detect and monitor ground subsidence caused by underground cavities.

Measurements in two adjacent (about 1.5 m separation) boreholes reveal that there is a significant degree of variations in the width and property (permeability) of shear zones in the granitic rock. A high frequency (>10 kHz) cross-well seismic tomography was conducted to characterize the features of permeability distribution at the shear zones in the inter-well region. At the shear zones, the correlation between the permeability at the well location and the velocity pattern shown in the cross-well velocity tomogram suggests that a high resolution velocity tomogram may provide useful information for the shear zone characteristics, such as permeability, fracture density, width, and length.

Geological mapping, borehole drilling, electrical resistivity, and seismic tomography surveys were conducted in order to map underground cavities and better understand the mechanisms driving subsidence in a limestone region in Korea. Limestone outcrops in the study area generally alternate between calcite-rich and calcite-poor rock. The results reveal that in areas experiencing subsidence, cavities occur mainly around soil-rock boundaries at depths of 7~14 m. These results are based on comparative analyses of electrical resistivity, seismic tomography, and borehole logging data. The volumes of the cavities are relatively small in a range of 558~835 ㎥ and they have a shape typical of suffosion sinkholes, which are typically found where sandy soils overlie bedrock cavities.
