Abstract

In order to investigate ground state change visually in physical model during centrifuge testing, electrical resistivity survey was adopted. Commercial resistivity survey equipment verified at various in-situ sites was utilized. The resistivity survey equipment installed in centrifuge facility was remotely controlled through intranet and electrical resistivity images obtained while centrifuge testing was being checked by real-time inversion. To verify the stable operation of the developed resistivity survey system, preliminary tests were conducted. Model ground was uniformly constructed using unsaturated soil and saline water was dropped on the ground surface to simulate contaminant flow situation. During the 10 g centrifuge tests, electrical resistivity was continuously detected and the testing results were compared with those of identically carried out 1 g centrifuge tests. In addition, the electrical resistivity was directly measured immediately after the centrifuge test by open cutting the model. Finally, reliability of electrical resistivity survey in the centrifuge test was verified by comparing those testing results.

원심모형실험 중 지반모형의 상태 변화를 입체적으로 파악하기 위한 방법으로 전기비저항 탐사를 시도하였다. 탐사 시스템은 현장에서 널리 사용되는 검증된 상용 장비를 바탕으로 하였다. 컴퓨터 원격 조정으로 실험 시설 내에 설치된 탐사 장비를 통제하고 실시간 해석을 통해 결과 영상을 원심 모형실험 중에 바로 확인할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 구축된 탐사 시스템의 안정적 구동 여부를 점검하기 위해 불포화상태로 조성된 모형 지반 상단에 염수를 떨어뜨려 지반 내부로 이동하게 하고 전기비저항 탐사를 수행하였다. 10g로 원심력을 가한 상태에서 실험을 수행하고 시간대별 염수 침투상황을 전기비저항 영상으로 확인하였으며 일반 중력장에서 동일하게 실험한 결과와 비교하였다. 실험 종료 뒤 모형지반 수직 절단면을 이용하여 직접 측정한 전기비저항 값과 획득한 영상을 비교함으로써 신뢰성을 검증하였다.
