Reliability of dipole-dipole electrical resistivity tomography for defining depth to bedrock in covered karst terranes

 Sinkhole collapse is one of the main limitations on the development of karst areas, especially where bedrock is covered by unconsolidated material. Studies of sinkhole formation have shown that sinkholes are likely to develop in cutter (enlarged joint) zones as a result of subterranean erosion by flowing groundwater. Because of the irregular distribution of pinnacles and cutters on the bedrock surface, uncertainties arise when "hit-or-miss" borehole drilling is used to locate potential collapse sites. A high-resolution geophysical technique capable of depicting the details of the bedrock surface is essential for guiding the drilling program. Dipole-dipole electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to map the bedrock surface at a site in southern Indiana where limestone is covered by about 9 m of clayey soils. Forty-nine transects were conducted over an area of approximately 42,037 m². The electrode spacing was 3 m. The length of the transects varied from 81 to 249 m. The tomographs were interpreted with the aid of soil borings. The repeatability of ERT was evaluated by comparing the rock surface elevations interpreted from pairs of transects where they crossed each other. The average difference was 2.4 m, with a maximum of 10 m. The discrepancy between interpreted bedrock-surface elevations for a transect intersection may be caused by variations in the subsurface geology normal to the transect. Averaging the elevation data interpreted from different transects improved the ERT results. A bedrock surface map was generated using only the averaged elevation data at the transect junctions. The accuracy of the map was further evaluated using data from four exploratory boreholes. The average difference between interpreted and actual bedrock surface-elevations was less than 0.4 m. The map shows two large troughs in the limestone surface: one coinciding with an existing sinkhole basin, while the other is in alignment with a small topographic valley. Because sinkholes were observed at the same elevation interval in similar valleys in the vicinity, the delineated trough may have implications for future land use at the site.

通过热源法对陡河水库渗漏通道的探测发现,陡河水库左坝肩存在着绕坝渗漏通道。在左坝肩基岩10m高程附近存在低温场异常,通过对水库底部附近温度场分布测量,判定出低温水来自上游右支河水的补给,通过低温区分布确定出绕坝渗漏强渗漏通道的位置,在库水位保持在32m时,根据热源法计算出渗漏通道的渗漏量在3.59×105~4.74×105m3/d之间,钻孔发现水库边基岩中的水位比库水位低22m,水位差是造成了水库跌窝事故的主要原因,在11#钻孔中发现了来自河床的细砂,在11#和9#孔中的连通试验证实基岩中的强渗漏通道。  相似文献   

贵州七星洞滴水的水文水化学特征及其意义   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7

本文对贵州都匀七星洞9个滴水点进行厂为期1年的动态临测，结果显示滴水的物质组成直接源自于洞穴环境，即土壤和岩石。而大气降雨携带的物质成分较少。洞穴滴水的化学组成中元素含量变化主要由水运移过程中水-土、水-岩作用导致的岩石溶解-方解石沉淀过程所控制。QXD-1#、QXD-2#、QXD-6#、QXD-7#、QXD-8#由于水运移过程中经过的土壤较薄。水-岩作用对滴水化学特性的贡献略大。稀释作用发生在干旱条件下的QXD-2#滴水点，活塞作用在雨季对QXD-7#、QXD-9#滴水产生影响，在不同的季节，QXD-1#、QXD-3#、QXD-8#滴水点的滴率产生跳跃式变化。这些作用均受控于水的来源差异。所有这些过程对滴水点水化学产生影响但其效果较弱。滴水的Mg／Ca指示了大气降雨的变化，其值受控于洞穴顶板内水运移过程中水-土、水-岩作用下的水文地球化学过程即岩石的溶解、方解石沉淀过程及土壤物理、化学、生物学过程等。  相似文献

近年来,隧道超前探测、泄洪洞病害部位探测、矿洞内矿体方位及含水等地下洞体内的探测需求变得越来越迫切,但由于洞内工作面狭小、不是地表的1/2空间、潮湿、金属等低阻体干扰等的特殊工作条件,较难进行有效探测,从而使洞内探测成为一大难题;根据瞬变电磁(TEM)方法的特点,设计了适用于洞内探测的装置,开发了相应的包含数据组合滤波、弱信息增强处理、异常分离等数据预处理方法在内的处理程序,较好地解决了上述问题,并取得了良好的应用效果。  相似文献

为了从FMI资料中提取定量信息,一个很重要的步骤就是要对FMI图像数据进行分割.即从实际FMI资料中分离出反映孔洞、裂缝的子图像,然后用相应的方法对分割后的子图像进行分析处理,提取相应参数.本文通过研究大量图像分割算法,认为奇异点多阈值分割算法、基于过度区的分割算法、Hopfield网络方法、基于图像间模糊散度的阈值化算法是FMI图像分割的有效方法,实现了从FMI图像中将地层中有用目标,从背景中分离出来.同时,为了得到孔洞及裂缝的形状参数,本文还研究了轮廓跟踪标识边缘的方法以及根据标识的边缘进行填充的算法.在此基础上,也研究了根据目标边缘坐标计算目标的长度、宽度、圆度、裂缝密度、孔洞密度等参数的方法.上述所有方法在SUN工作站GeoFrame平台上开发成功,通过对LX45等八口井的处理结果与岩心分析数据对比表明,效果较好.  相似文献

Microclimatic characterization of a karstic cave: human impact on microenvironmental parameters of a prehistoric rock art cave (Candamo Cave, northern Spain)   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The Candamo Cave contains an important group of paleolithic paintings which have been seriously deteriorated due to mass tourism. In this work, an analysis was carried out of different climatic parameters (CO₂, temperature, humidity, ²²²Rn) during annual cycles with the cave closed to the public and during an experimental period of controlled visits. The effect of visits on the geochemical characteristics of karstic water was also analyzed together with the cave ventilation. The natural variations in the cave air CO₂ were above 3000 ppm, the increase produced through visits was only 100–110 ppm and since the humidity is almost permanently at saturation point, the critical parameter which limits the visitor capacity becomes air temperature. The temperature changes during the annual cycle are of the order of 1  °C in the external part and less than 0.5  °C in the internal part of the cave and a maximum increase of 0.13  °C was observed during the period of the visits. The ²²²Rn and CO₂ concentration minimums in the summer period (July–October) show that this is the most propitious time for visits, since the greatest ventilation is produced in the cave at this time and, therefore, the greatest capacity for recovery. The geochemistry of the water, on the other hand, indicated that this is the period of the year in which processes of wall corrosion can be most easily introduced, although this would be of limited magnitude. The visitor capacity calculated was 29 visitors/day. Received: 29 August 1996 · Accepted: 23 June 1997  相似文献
