To improve the recovery rate of unlocated buried human remains in forensic investigations, there is scope to evaluate and develop techniques that are applicable to the Australian environment. I established controlled gravesites (comprising shallow buried kangaroos, pigs, and human cadavers) in South Australia, to allow the methodical testing of remote sensing equipment for the purpose of grave detection in forensic investigations. Eight-month-old pig graves are shown to provide more distinct identifying results using ground-penetrating radar when compared to four-year-old kangaroo graves. Two further aspects of this research are presented: information (obtained from a survey) relating to the police use of geophysical instruments for locating buried human remains, and the use of electrical resistivity for locating human remains buried in a coffin. The survey of Australian police jurisdictions, covering the period 1995-2000, showed that police searches for unlocated bodies have not successfully located human remains using any geophysical instruments (such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometers, or electrical resistivity). Lower resistivity readings were found coincident with the 150-year-old single historical burial in a heavily excavated field, in a situation where its exact location was previously unknown.

Detailed estimation of subsurface resistivity distribution and accurate estimation of actual fault current coming into the grounding system are indispensible to optimun grounding system design. Especially, it is essential for efficient grounding design to estimate subsurface resistivity distribution quantitatively and logically. Accurate estimation of subsurface resistivity distribution has an absolute influence on calculating touch voltage, step voltage and ground potential rise (GPR) which are related with grounding design standard for human safety. In this study, thirty-three electrical sounding surveys were made in Yongdam Power Station to obtain detailed subsurface resistivity distribution and the sounding data were interpreted quantitatively using multi-layered model. The results of the quantitative resistivity models were adopted practically to calculate grounding resistance values. Analytical asymptotic equations and CDEGS program were used in grounding resistance calculation and the results were compared and reviewed in the study.

In order to mitigate the possible hazards from electric shock due to the touch and step voltages, the high resistivity material such as gravel is often spread on the earth's surface in substations. When the grounding electrode is installed in two-layer soil structures, the surface layer soil resistivity is different with the resistivity of the soil contacted with the grounding electrodes. The design of large-sized grounding systems is fundamentally based on assuring safety from dangerous voltages within a grounding grid area. The performance of the grounding system is evaluated by tolerable touch and step voltages. Since the floor surface conditions near equipment to be grounded are changed after a grounding system has been constructed, it may be difficult to determine the tolerable touch and step voltage criteria. In this paper, to propose an accurate and convenient method for evaluating the protective performance of grounding systems, the propriety of the method for evaluating the current flowing through the human body around on a counterpoise buried in two-layer soils is presented. As a result, it is reasonable that the grounding system performance would be evaluated by measuring and analyzing the current flowing through the human body based on dangerous voltages such as the touch or step voltages and the contact resistance between the ground surface and feet.

To apply the appropriate new grounding system to domestic power system, safety has to be guaranteed under the given circumstances. It is not possible to decide the safety of grounding systems by the experimental test because safety experiments directly relate to the human life and the installed electric machines. Therefore, the computer simulation program to decide the safety of grounding systems based on the IEC standard systems, has to be developed. This paper proposes the computer simulation based method to decide the safety of grounding system with the concepts of touch voltage, step voltage, human resistivity, and applied electric current according to the several conditions of human body located in the corresponding grounding systems. The proposed method is implemented by Matlab/Simulink and Visual C++ programming tools for its visualization.

The touch or step voltages which exist in the vicinity of a grounding electrode are closely related to the earth structure and resistivity and the ground current. The grounding design approach is required to determine the grounding electrode location where the hazardous voltages are minimized. In this paper, in order to propose a method of mitigating the electric shock hazards caused by the ground surface potential rise in the vicinity of a counterpoise, the hazards relevant to touch voltage were evaluated as a function of the soil resistivity ratio $\rho_2/\rho_1$ for several practical values of two-layer earth structures. The touch voltage and current on the ground surface just above the test electrode are calculated with CDEGS program. As a consequence, it was found that burying a grounding electrode in the soil with low resistivity is effective to reduce the electric shock hazards. In the case that the bottom layer soil where a counterpoise is buried has lower resistivity than the upper layer soil, when the upper layer soil resistivity is increased, the surface potential is slightly raised, but the current through the human body is reduced with increasing the upper layer soil resistivity because of the greater contact resistance between the earth surface and the feet. The electric shock hazard in the vicinity of grounding electrodes is closely related to soil structure and resistivity and are reduced with increasing the ration of the upper layer resistivity to the bottom layer resistivity in two-layer soil.

Although the problem of seawater intrusion at the coastal aquifer was recognized before over one hundred years at the coastal aquifer, much groundwater keep on being salinitized by several reasons such as groundwater exhaustion, coastalline change, and human activities. The horizontal and vertical electrical soundings and geostatistical methods were used to define the local characteristics of saltwater intrusion and to estimate the saltwater interface in the southeastern area of the Pusan City. The 24 points of the Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings(VES) to loom depth and the 2 lines of dipole-dipole horizontal soundings are peformed. The resistivity data have lognormal distributions. The horizontal extents of saline water intrusion were estimated from the inversion of horizontal prospecting data. Lognormal ordinary kriging is used in A-A' resistivity profiles on May and July because the data have stationary models in semivariograms. Lognormal IRF-k kriging is used for the isopleth maps using vertical resistivity data. The 10 ohm-m resistivity line on the isopleth maps of 21m, 30m, 50m, and 70m depth using resisitivity data measured in July is sifted to the east, cpomparing that of the isopleth maps measured in May. The kriged vertical and horizontal resistivity isopleth maps suggested that the geostatistical methods can be used to define the variation of earth resistivity distribution at the saltwater interface.

A new way to integrate various geophysical information for evaluation of RQD was developed. In this study, we did not directly define the RQD value where borehole data are not sampled. Instead, we infer the probability of RQD values with prior probability from borehole direct data, and secondary supporting probability from resistivity and seismic tomography data. For the integration, we applied the geostatstical indicator kriging to get prior probability of RQD value, and indicator kriging with soft data to get the supporting probability from resistivity and seismic data. And we finally use the permanence ratio rule to integrate these information. The finally obtained result was also analyzed to fully utilize the probabilistic features. We show the probability of wrongly classifying the RQD evaluation and vice versa. This result may be used for decision making process based on the geophysical exploration.

터널 등과 같은 대규모의 토목공사에서 암반등급 평가에 이용되는 RMR값의 효율적인 추정을 위해 지구물리 탐사자료인 MT역산결과와 시추공에서 직접 얻어진 자료에 대해 지구통계학적 복합해석을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 물리탐사를 통해 획득한 전기비저항 정보는 RMR 값과 정성적으로 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 판단되지만, 직접적인 일대일 대응은 부정확한 결과를 내놓을 수 있다. 이러한 점을 극복하고, RMR값이 공간적 연속성을 갖는 다는 점을 고려하여 지구통계학적 추정 기술을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 MT자료에 의한 전기비저항치와 시추공에서 얻어진 RMR값의 상관관계에 대한 평균 분포를 비선형적으로 구하고, RMR의 잔차에 대하여 공간적 해석을 적용하여 보다 실제적인 RMR의 분포를 얻고자 하였다. MT 탐사 결과의 비저항 분포를 2차 자료로 이용하여 1차 자료인 시추공에서 얻은 RMR값을 추정 해석하였다.

For development of a human body model for electric shock, electroconductive paints with carbon black as a filler material were developed. The characteristics of the volume resistivities of thin films fabricated using the electroconductive paints were investigated as a function of the particle sizes and content of carbon black. With a carbon black particle size over $80\;{\mu}m$, agglomeration of carbon black powders was observed. The volume resistivity of the particles increased as the porosity increased and as the amount of carbon black decreased due to the agglomeration of carbon black powders. With a particle size of $4\;{\mu}m$ and $20\;{\mu}m$, agglomeration of carbon black powders was not observed and their porosities were measured as 0.86% and 1.12% with volume resistivities of $20\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $80\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ respectively. A carbon black particle size of less than $20\;{\mu}m$ is considered to be suitable as a type of electric-shock electroconductive paint for a human body model.

쌍극자-쌍극자 전기비저항 탐사를 수행하여 자료를 얻다 보면 종종 음의 겉보기 비저항값을 얻게 된다. 음의 겉보기 비저항이란 겉보기비저항 가단면도 상에서 주변자료와 반대되는 부호를 갖고 나타나는 비저항을 의미한다. 이러한 음의 겉보기 비저항은 보통 측정오차로 간주되어 현장 자료 해석시 무시되어 왔다. 일부 측정기기에서는 겉보기 비저항의 절대간이 기록되므로 이러한 음의 비저항값들이 주변값과 같은 부호를 갖는 것으로 환산되어 해석되기도 한다. 현장에서의 여러 실험 결과 옴의 겉보기 비저항갈은 측정오차나 자연전위의 영향에 의해 나타나는 현상이 아니었으며, 유도분극에 의한 영향도 아니었다. 한가지 가능성으로 지하 지질구조에 의한 영향으로 생각할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 수치모델링을 통하여 평탄한 지형에서 음의 비저항이 지하 지질구조에 의하여 나타날 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 현장자료를 시뮬레이션하기 위하여 3차원 전산모델링 알고리즘을 이용하였으며, 3차원 결과로부터 2차원 가단면도를 얻었다. 음의 비저항을 발생시키는 모델로는 U자형과 초승달모양의 전도체 모델을 가정하였다. 수치모델링 결과 이러한 지질구조로부터 음의 비저항이 나타날 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 일반적으로 전류전극으로부터의 거리가 멀어질수록 전위값이 증가하게 되면 전위차 곡선들이 서로 교차하면서 음의 비저항값이 나타나는데, 본 연구에서 제시된 결과들에 대해 전극위치에 대한 전위차 그래프를 그려봄으로써 이를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 수치예제들은 현장조사에서 획득한 음의 겉보기 비저항값들이 지하 지질구조에 의해 발생할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하며, 향후 현장조사 자료 해석시 이를 고려하여 해석할 것을 제안한다.
