  • To detect ground subsidence, the permanent scatterer SAR interferometry is applied to the Shinho industrial complex. Eleven JERS-1 images were acquired in the study area between October 1996 and September 1998. All SAR data were co-registered to one master scene (January 8, 1998) and thus 10 interferograms were obtained in a time series. In order to determine permanent scatterers, coherence maps as well as the interferograms were generated and exploited. The coherence at the selected PSs was larger than 0.4 in a 515 sub-window and 0.5 in a 39 sub-window. Twenty-nine PSs within the reclaimed land and 8 PSs (as reference phase) outside the plant were selected for the analysis. The 29 PSs were grouped into 5 sub-groups. We removed the reference phase, which was estimated from 8 outside PSs that were considered as phases free of displacement, from the phases at PSs inside the plant. Residual phases could be interpreted as surface displacement and DEM error. The subsidence of about 40 cm was detected at group 4, while surface displacements were negligible in the rest groups.

  • In practice, it is common to manufacture reference blocks containing simple reflectors to obtain distance-amplitude correction (DAC) curves. However, the construction or DAC curves in this manner requires the use of a large number of specimens with appropriate curvatures and reference reflectors located at various depths. Therefore, less costly and quantitative procedures are strongly needed. To address such a need, in this study, we have developed model-based transfer curves to relate a DAC curve obtained in a particular reference configuration with that for a completely different configuration. An example of transferring DAC curves, using the proposed transfer curves, is given.

Observation of Volume Change and Subsidence at a Coal Waste Dump in Jangseong-dong, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do by Using Digital Elevation Models and PSInSAR Technique (수치표고모델 및 PSInSAR 기법을 이용한 강원도 태백시 장성동 폐석적치장의 적치량과 침하관측)

  • In this study, the amount of coal waste dump was calculated using six Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) produced between 2006 and 2018 in Jangseong-dong, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do, and the subsidence was observed by applying the Persistent Scatterer Interferometric SAR (PSInSAR) technique on the Sentinel-1 SAR images. As a result of depositing activities using DEMs, a total of 1,668,980 m3 of coal waste was deposited over a period of about 12 years from 2006 to 2018. The observed subsidence rate from PSInSAR was -32.3 mm/yr and -40.2 mm/yr from the ascending and descending orbits, respectively. As the thickness of the waste pile increased, the rate of subsidence increased, and the more recent the completion of the deposit, the faster the subsidence tended to occur. The subsidence rates from the ascending and descending orbits were converted to vertical and horizontal east-west components, and 22 random reference points were set to compare the subsidence rate, the waste rock thickness, and the time of depositing completion. As a result, the subsidence rate of the reference point tended to increase as the thickness of the waste became thicker, similar to the PSInSAR results in relation to the waste thickness. On the other hand, there was no clear correlation between the completion time of the deposits and the rate Of subsidence at the reference points. This is because the time of completion of the deposits at all but 5 of the 22 reference points was too biased in 2010 and the correlation analysis was meaningless. As in this study, the use of DEM and PSInSAR is expected to be an effective alternative to compensate for the lack of field data in the safety management of coal waste deposits.
