The variation of the electrical property of embankment material was analyzed from laboratory experiments and the result of field survey, in order to enhance the interpretation of electrical resistivity survey frequently used for safety assessment of embankment. At first, the kaolinite, showing similar physical property with core material of embankment, was used to examine the variation of the resistivity value according to degree of consolidation. The test showed that a drop of shear strength induces increase of resistivity value regardless of degree of water content. This result means that porous zones of weak core material in embankment may be appeared as highly resistive part in the electrical resistivity survey. This observation implies that it may fail to detect weak core material by electrical method, if we only try to and zones showing low resistivity value. And, we performed Standard Penetration Test (SPT) to analyze the correlation between electrical property and ground stiffness. Finally, a mechanism to describe the variation of electrical resistivity due to grouting effect was proposed and real field data were analyzed.

An electrical resistivity survey is widely conducted for the safety management of embankment. In this study we investigated how a tidal variation affects the interpretation of electrical resistivity monitoring data of the embankment located in west coast. We monitored the variation of electrical resistivity on the coastal embankment where there was a high tidal variation for 3 days in every 3 hours. Electrical resistivity monitoring data showed a variation of resistivity distribution in specific area according to the time, which demonstrated some correlation with a tidal height variation. Therefore, we highly recommend that a tidal effect be considered when electrical resistivity survey is conducted on the embankment where there is a high tidal variation. For further study, we need a long term electrical resistivity monitoring and analyzing on tidal variation.

풍력 발전 시스템에서 정격 풍속 이상의 바람에 대응하기 위해서는 일반적으로 전기적 브레이크와 기계적 브레이크가 요구된다. 기계적 브레이크는 상대적으로 응답성이 느리며 그 시간 동안 발전기 rpm 증가에 따른 DC전압 상승에 대응하는 전기적 브레이크의 역할이 시스템 안정성에 있어 매우 중요한 요소이다. 전기적 브레이크 중에서도 소형풍력 발전시스템에서는 DB(Dynamic Brake)저항을 통해 부하를 걸어주는 방식이 주로 쓰인다. DB 저항 구동에 있어 히스테리시스 루프에 기반한 PWM제어가 일반적으로 통용되는 방식이다. 이러한 방식과 비교하여 제어 안정성, 전압 오버슈트 등의 면에서 우수한 DB저항 제어 방식을 제안하며 히스테리시스 방식과 과도상태 정상상태 특성 비교 및 성능 분석을 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제시한다.

Many trials to set up the correlation between the rock mass classification and the earth resistivity have been carried out to design tunnel support type based on the interpreted electrical resistivity acquired by surface electrical survey. But it is hard to find reports on the comparison of the real rock support type determined during the excavation with the electrical resistivity by the inversion of the survey data acquired before the tunneling. In this study, the rock mass classification based on the face mapping data and the resistivity inversion data are investigated to see if it is possible to design reliably the rock support type based on the surface electrical survey. To get the quantitative correlation, rock engineering indices such as RCR(rock condition rating), N(Rock mass number), Q-system and RMR(rock mass rating) are calculated. Since resistivity data has low resolution, Kriging method as a post processing technique which minimizes the estimated variance is used to improve resolution. The result of correlation analysis shows that the 2D electrical resistivity survey is appropriate to see the general trend of the geology in the sense of rock type, though there might be some local area where these two factors do not coincide. But the correlation between the result of 3D survey and the rock mass classification turns out to be very high, and then 3D electrical resistivity survey can make it possible to set up more reliable rock support type.

Resistivity monitoring is based on the fact that a change in the porosity leads to the changes in water content and fine particles, which alter the electrical resistivity. At every embankment dam, internal erosion always occurs as time passes. The internal erosion generally develops into piping over a long time by backward erosion and concentrated leak, and finally leads to dam failure. Resistivity is known to be very sensitive to the changes in porosity in embankment dams. Thus resistivity monitoring is a reasonable method to find out the leakage zone. However, resistivity is strongly influenced by seasonal variation of temperature, TDS of reservoir water and water level. In this paper. we first installed electrodes permanently at the center of the crest. The electrical resistivity monitoring data was acquired every 6 hours from Apr. 3, 2011 to July. 31, 2012. To analyze the characteristics of monitoring data, each resistivity data was calculated from up to 2,950 data sets. The result indicated a seasonal resistivity variation due to related temperature. Finally, a quantitative method to estimate porosities of the embankment dam from the resistivity monitoring data was analyzed. The applicability and reliability were verified and the importance of electrical resistivity monitoring for obtaining reliable result was emphasized.

저저항(DuPont 1721, 100.OMEGA./sq.)과 고저항(1741, 10K.OMEGA./sq.)의 두 Ru계 후막저항체를 여러 조건에서 소결하여 소결막의 복소임피던스 특성과 임피던스의 주파수의존성을 1KHz-13MHz의 주파수 범위에서 조사하였다. 저저항 1721계의 경우 600.deg.C이상에서 소결한 모든 시편이 거의 저항성분(R)만으로 구성된 등가회로에 해당되는 복소임피던스 거동을 보였으며 임피던스에 미치는 주파수 의존성은 크게 나타나지 않았는데 5KHz까지는 주파수에 따라 변화가 없다가 그 이상의 주파수에서 주파수 증가에 따라 약간씩 증가하였다. 고저항 1741 후막저항체의 경우는 소결조건에 따라 복소임피던스 거동과 임피던스에 미치는 주파수 의존성이 달리 나타났다. 600.deg.C에서는 용량(C) 성분만으로 구성된 등가회로에 해당하는 복소임피던스 거동을 얻었고 주파수 증가에 따라 임피던스가 직선적으로 감소하였으며 700.deg.C이상 900.deg.C까지는 저항(R)과 용량(C)이 병렬로 연결되는 형태의 등가회로에 해당하는 복소임피던스 거동을 얻었고 이때의 임피던스의 주파수 의존성은 저주파수 영역에서는 임피던스가 주파수에 변함없이 일정하다가 5KHz이상의 주파수에서는 주파수 증가에 따라 임피던스가 직선적으로 감소하였다. 1000.deg.C반응에서의 복소임피던스 거동은 RCL성분이 병렬로 연결된 형태의 등가회로에 해당되는 결과를 얻었으며 임피던스도 작아지고 주차수 의존성도 현저하지 않았다.

The subject of this paper is research into the application of electrical resistivity monitoring to detecting the water leakage of water utilization facilities. For this purpose, we installed a comprehensive monitoring system consisting of resistivity measurement, inclinometer, piezometer, and water gauge at an embankment. Using this monitoring system, we monitored the various kinds of measurement data and compared the resistivity structures and that of hydrological and engineering data in order to investigate the water leakage and stability of the embankment. The variant images of electrical resistivity at the embankment were provided from the monitoring data and we could accurately locate the portion of which resistivities have sharply changed. Furthermore, we could estimate the stability of the embankment more effectively and quantitatively by jointly interpreting the monitoring data of resistivity, water level, pore water pressure, and subsurface displacement. The monitoring experiments in this study led us to the conclusion that for the efficient maintenance of the water utilization facilities, monitoring the resistivity data and hydrological data would be much more preferable to performing the just one-time measurements.

The electrical resistivity method is an effective geophysical tool to detect subsurface contamination because the contaminated zones show generally lower electrical resistivity. In this study, the electrical resistivity surveys were applied to a waste landfill site to image the subsurface structure around the landfill and to identify the contaminated zones. First, the dipole-dipole 2D resistivity surveys were conducted along the boundaries of landfill to define the developed contaminated zones. Then the crosshole resistivity tomography was applied to confirm the suspected contaminated zones at depth. The results of drilling and geochemical analysis of ground water supported that the low resistivity zones coincide well with the contaminated zones and the leachate pathways could be delineated effectively from the resistivity survey.

In this paper, we used the electrical resistivity survey as a simple and reasonable technique to evaluate the effectiveness of grouting. And, a mechanism was also analyzed to understand how the electrical resistivity is affected by the loss of fine material in the core of a dam. From this mechanism, it was confirmed that electrical resistivity value of the damage section may be up or down depending on the survey conditions. This result seems to be contrary to the previous study that electrical resistivity of the damage zone become alway low. To clarify what was investigated, the electrical resistivity before and after grouting was compared and analyzed. As the result, it was concluded that grouting effectiveness was successfully assessed by electrical resistivity survey.
