Abstract

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar), developed as a technology for geotechnical investigations such as sinkhole exploration, was used limitedly as a method to resolve undetectable lines in underground facility exploration. To improve the accuracy of underground facility data, the government made it possible to explore underground facilities using a non-metallic pipeline probe from July 2022. However, GPR has a problem in that the exploration rate is lowered in the soil with high moisture content, such as soft soil, such as clay layer, and there is a lot of variation in long-term accuracy. In this study, as a way to improve the accuracy of exploration considering the characteristics of GPR and the environment of underground facilities, we propose a GPR exploration method for underground facilities using permittivity constant correction and pattern analysis of GPR image data. Through this study, the accuracy of underground facility exploration and high reproducibility were derived as a result of field verification applying GPR frequency band and heterogeneous GPR.

싱크홀 탐사 등 지반조사를 위한 기술로 개발된 GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar)은 지하시설물 탐사에서 불탐구간을 해소하기 위한 방법으로 한정되어 사용하고 있었다. 정부는 지하시설물 데이터의 정확도 개선을 위하여 2022년 7월부터 비금속 관로 탐사기를 이용한 지하시설물 탐사가 가능하도록 하였다. 그러나 GPR은 점토층 등과 같이 연약지반 같은 수분함량이 높은 지반에서 탐사율도 낮아지고, 정확도에 많은 변동이 발생하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GPR의 특성과 지하시설물의 환경을 고려한 탐사정확도 향상방안으로 유전률 상수 보정과 GPR 영상자료의 패턴분석을 이용한 지하시설물 GPR탐사 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통하여 GPR 주파수 대역과 이기종 GPR을 적용한 현장검증 결과 지하시설물 탐사의 정확도 향상 및 높은 재현성 결과를 도출하였다.
