Seismic geotomography method was performed to verify rock-filled settlement and its stability in No.38+0 profile and No.40+0 profile. The velocity distributions of geotomography method expressed the quantitative value of the ground conditions. The rock-filled layer and in-situ sediments layer are clearly divided on the basis of seismic velocity 2100 m/sec which is derived from the results of seismic geotomography and boring. Current rock-filled settlement conditions are somewhat different from designed settlement estimation line. Seismic geotomography represents current settlement conditions as a quantitative analysis.

Geotomography, which reconstructs underground structures, is very important task in recent geophysical data processing. In this study, the field data acquired by U.S.Army was used for tomographic inversion and the result was compared with the tomographic inversion and the result was compared with the tomogram from theoretical model data.

Recently, geophysical prospecting methods have played very important roles in civil and environmental engineering problems. Technical advances in geophysical instruments and computer system made it possible to get underground images with very high resolution far purposes to resolve those problems. It was possible partly due to ever increasing demand for development of technologies needed to precisely detect polluted areas and prevent ground-related accidents. Based on the same demand, integrity tests of cast-in place piles draw more attention and development of accurate test procedures is required. Ultrasonic methods is one of most advanced non-destructive procedures. In the paper, a geotomography method is employed for the cast-in place pile integrity test using ultrasonic waves. The image of pile interior is scanned and scrutinized far better and more accurate decision in the cast-in place pile integrity. In this study, we firstly examined the accuracy fur tomography program with idealized synthetic models built in water tank: their position and size were changed in the tank and each case was studied. In the next stage, real concrete pile models were fabricated and images of anomaly areas inside the pile were scanned to successfully locate those areas.

최근 지하 공간의 활용이 증대되는 추세에 이와 관련되어 지하 구조물의 시공전 또는 시공 중에 있어 시공 전략 수립, 장비 결정, 안정성 및 경제성 등을 위해 암반 내의 파쇄대나 균열대의 발달 및 분포에 대한 탐사는 필수적으로 선행되어야 한다. 이러한 탐사에는 분해능이 매우 높은 탐사 기술이 요구되며, 일반적으로 시추공이나 지하 갱도를 이용한 탄성파 탐사나 지오레이다(georadar) 탐사를 많이 사용하고, 자료해석을 위한 역산 기법으로는 지오토모그래피(geotomography)가 필수적인 기법으로 인식되고 있다. (중략)

Generally, investigation methods of cut slope are conducted only geological surface survey to gain engineering geological data of cut slopes. These methods have many problems such as limitations of investigation for a special area. So geophysical investigations such as geotomography, seismic and electrical resistivity methods have been used to search for failure surface in potential failure slopes or failed slopes. But investigation method using the borehole camera is recently a used method and it is thought that this method is more reliable method than other investigation methods because of being able to see by the eyes. Therefore, this paper was conducted investigations of borings and BIPS(Borehole Image Processing System) to search for potential sliding surfaces and was applied to obtain information of discontinuity on failed and potential failure slope in highway. As the results of BIPS, we could decide potential sliding surface in the slope, conducted to check slope stability and decided slope stability measures.

A train overturn accident occurred on March 1993 in the Gupo area, northern part of Pusan, unfortunately had taken a heavy toll of lives and caused a great loss of property as well. The reasons for the subsidence of the basement under the railroads, which presumed to be the main cause of the accident, have been investigated from many different angles, including conventional geotechnical investigation methods. The deduced nuin reasons of the subsidence were: 1. blasting for tunnel excavation (NATM) at about 39 meter under the railroads, and 2. unexpected change of bedrock conditions along the direction of tunnel. But this accident was derived nrranlv from the lack of geological and geotechnical information under railroad area because it was impossible to drill beneath the railroads. This paper introduces a new geophysical survey techniqueseisrnic geotomography, and shows some results of the method applying to investigate the underground structure of the accident area. This method not only overcomes the unfavourable environment which many conventional investigation methods cannot face, but produces an image of underground structure with high resolution. Furthermore, the outputs from geotomogaphic analysis could provide very valuable in-situ basic parameters (like seismic velocities, elastic moduli, etc.) which is essential to the design and construction.
