The purpose of this study is to provide the geo-technical information by assessment of the in-situ rock strength using the reflected wave energy and travel time data acquired by the borehole acoustic scanner. In order to compare and analyze the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and the reflected wave energy, the laboratory test and the borehole acoustic scanning were conducted for the set of specimens, such as mortar, concrete, and rock samples which have different rock type. Finally, we verified the applicability of the reflected wave energy acquired by the borehole acoustic scanner to quantitatively estimate the in-situ rock strength.

수중폭발성음원인 SUS(signal underwater sound)는 수중에서의 폭발과 동시에 충격파와 기포파들이 연속적으로 발생한다. 이러한 신호는 광범위한 주파수대역을 가지고 전파거리가 길어지면서 굴절과 반사등의 다중경로 전파효과에 의한 신호의 변형까지 생긴다. (1,2,3). 본 연구에서는 deconvolution 방법을 이용하여 수신신호중에서 기포파효과를 최소화시켜 충격파의 수신기 도달시간을 파악하고, 각 충격파들의 전파경로를 추정하여 이 중 직접경로와 해저면 반사경로의 신호를 이용하여 해저면 반사계수를 계산하였다.

In the traditional seismic processing, multiple reflections are treated as noise and therefore they are eliminated during data processing. Recently, however, many studies have begun to consider multiples as signals rather than noise for seismic imaging. Multiple reflections can illuminate an area where primary reflections are not able to cover, thus it is allowed that a smaller number of shots and receivers are used for imaging large areas. In order to verify this, surface-related multiples were used for reverse-time migration (RTM), and then we compared the results with conventional RTM images which are generated from primary reflections. To utilize multiples, we separated multiples from whole seismic data using surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) method. Numerical examples confirmed that the migration using multiples can image wider area than the conventional migration, particularly in the shallow subsurface layers. In addition, the migration of multiples could eliminate the acquisition footprints.

The asynchronous bistatic sonar needs to estimate direct blast arrival time at a receiver to localize targets, and therefore the direct blast arrival time estimation error could be added to target localization error in comparison with synchronous system. Direct blast especially appears as several peaks at the matched filter output by multipath, thus we compared the first peak detection technique and the maximum peak detection technique of those peaks for direct blast arrival time estimation through sea trial data. The test was performed in a shallow sea with bistatic sonar made up of spatially separated source and line array sensors. Line array sensors obtained the target signal which is generated from the echo repeater. As a result, the first peak detection technique is superior to maximum peak detection technique in direct blast arrival time estimation error. The result of this analysis will be used for further research of target tracking in the asynchronous bistatic sonar.

There are several antenna calibration methods, so-called 3-Antenna Method, Standard Site Method, and Standard Antenna Method which measure the antenna gains or antenna factors. These methods yield the free space or quasi free space antenna gains in only the frequency domain. In this paper, an antenna calibration method using the time domain in the open area test site is discussed. The reflected waves due to the ground are traced in the time domain. After they are removed by the time gating function of network analyzer, the free space transmission coefficient $S_{21}$ is extracted. Such a way is applied to the broad band horn antenna ranging 1 GHz to 18 GHz, and the free space gains are obtained by Friis transmission equation. The method is checked by Standard Site Method in open area test site. The results show comparatively good agreement except for 18 GHz.

지하레이다(Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR)를 이용하여 지표하의 상수관로를 지표에서 송신안테나와 수신안테나를 이용해서 손쉽게 측정하게 된다. 송신안테나는 지표하에 전자기파를 송신하고 지하 매질을 투과한 파가 수신안테나에 도달하는 시간을 측정하여 지표하 매질의 특성을 파악할 수 있다. 수신파의 도달시간은 지표하 매질의 특성에 따라서 변화하며, 이를 통해 지표하 매질과 매질 깊이 등을 파악할 수 있다. 일반적으로 상수관로를 매설할 경우 관로 주변의 토양은 균등하게 되므로 기 매설된 상수관로 주변에 누수가 발생하게 되면, 관로 주변의 토양은 포화상태이거나 수압으로 인해서 공동이 형성될 경우가 많다. 이때 반사에너지의 유전율 증가 혹은 감소 특성으로 인해서 주변 매질과는 매우 상이한 결과를 보이게 된다. GPR탐사는 단순히 반사된 신호진폭의 크기를 나타내며 이러한 반사에너지의 크기에 관계되는 것은 매설물의 유전율이 주위 지반이 갖는 유전율과의 차이에서 기인하기 때문이다. 탐사 대상 상수관로에 대한 정보를 확보하여 GPR 탐사를 수행한 결과 관로 탐사를 위한 GPR의 결과는 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단되며, 이를 바탕으로 누수 발생 이력이 있는 다양한 관로주변 조건을 대상으로 탐사를 실시할 경우 상수관망시스템의 효율적인 관리 및 보수에 매우 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

장대 교량이 위치한 지반에서 지진에 의한 지반 운동은 교량의 길이 방향으로 공간적인 변화를 일으킨다. 지형 변화나 지반 매질의 물성 변화가 있는 비균질한 지반에서 지반 운동의 진폭과 주파수 성분은 변화하고 이 부지 효과(site effect)는 교량의 지진 응답에 지배적인 영향을 미치며 그 영향은 파전파 효과(wave passage effect)에 의한 지반 각 지점의 지진파 도달시간 차이나 비균질성이 큰 지반에서 파의 다중 반사, 굴절에 의한 영향보다 크다[1]. (중략)

Choosing a seismic source and geophone type including a coupling method can be the most important factor in shallow seismic surveys. We studied the characteristics of seismic signals by analyzing 6 different seismic data sets that collected from several sources and geophone conditions. Geophones attached to weight plate (1.8 kg) can be easily and economically installed on the paved road where geophones with spikes would cause the coupling problem. In addition, experiments in this study revealed that a small handy hammer can be used as a seismic source by striking the paved road to generate the seismic signals within 200 ms two-way travel time. Attaching weight plates to geophones may change the geophone response curve which generally depends on the geophone mass, but the change seems not to give significant differences in the first arrival of refracted wave and in the pattern of reflection events. Consequently, using weight plates on paved roads can be an efficient and cost-saving method in the near-surface high-resolution seismic surveys.

A set of experiments (Shallow Water 2006, SW06) was carried out in shallow water near the New Jersey shelf break in summer 2006. Significant fluctuations in direct and surface reflected arrivals were observed from the chirp data (1100~2900 Hz) measured on a vertical line array. This paper presents a geoacoustic inverssion technique for short-range acoustic data with fluctuating arrivals and inversion results of experimental data. In order to reduce effects of random sea surface on the inversion, the acoustic energy back-propagated from the array to the source through direct and bottom-reflected paths is defined as the objective function. A multi-step inversion scheme is applied to the data using VFSR (Very Fast Simulated Reannealing) optimization technique. The inversion results show a source depth oscillation period equal to the measured ocean surface wave period. The inverted bottom sound speed is 1645 m/s and is similar to that estimated by other work at the same site.

In this paper an analytical study is carried out to improve the capacity of absorbing boundary using dashpot, one of the most widely used absorbing boundaries in FEM. Using 2-D harmonic plane wave equation, absorbing boundary condition is modified to maximize its capacity according to the incident angle. Validity of the absorbing boundary conditions which is modified is investigated by adopting the solution of Miller and Pursey. The Miller and Pursey's problem is then numerically simulated using the finite element method. The absorption ratios are calculated by comparing the displacements at the absorbing boundary to those at the free field without the absorbing boundary. The numerical study is carried out through comparison of displacement at the interior region and the boundary of the numerical model.
