Abstract

More than 16 percent of the total 18,032 reservoirs over the country were reported to have leakage problems and need to be improved. Recently, a great deal of progress was made in geophysical survey techniques, particularly in electrical resistivity, and the techniques are used for variety of Purposes in groundwater and dam management due to its economical advantages. This document describes the re-evaluation of existing resistivity data including newly surveyed data, mapping of modeled value in 2-D analysis to locate seepage pathways, This contains also discussion results of more than eighteen years of professional experiences in the field of dam efficiency improvement. In comparison of surface resistivity data with several soil analysis data in laboratory, it is evident that the surface resistivity value shows a qualitative proportionality with the sand contents of the filling materials in earth dam. The result from the study also indicates that the SP method in subsurface investigation is effective to detect seepage in earth filled dam as well as piping through rock/earthfill dike.

우리나라의 저수지 총수 18,032 개소의 $16\%$에 달하는 저수지가 누수를 겪고 있다. 이러한 불안전 시설물 조사에 있어서 물리탐사기법의 활용은 경제적 측면에서 지극히 자연스러운 흐름이다. 본 연구에서는 전기비저항탐사에 의해 이미 조사된 자료들을 분석하여 현장측정값의 모형을 보여주고 저수지에서의 누수조사 현장경험을 기술하였으며 토질과 전기비저항값의 상관관계를 분석하여 모래함량과의 연관성을 얻었다. 또한 SP탐사기법은 방조제뿐만 아니라 저수지 누수 조사에서도 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
