Application effect of high-density electrical method on detecting artificial filling layer: A case study of Chengjiangshan area of Huaibei City

High-density electrical method has been proved to be an effective method for probing shallow sedimentary layers.It is principally used to identify the boundary between the Quaternary soil layer and bedrock according to the vertical change of apparent resistivity.However,the artificial filling layer has the characteristics of heterogeneity and high porosity,which makes it challenging to detect the artificial filling layer by high-density electrical method.The key to solve this problem is to detect the difference of conductivity between the filling layer and the underlying bedrock.This paper takes the land in Chengjiangshan area of Huaibei City,Anhui Province as the detection target.On the basis of fully analyzing the physical properties of the artificial filling layer,two-dimensional high-density electrical survey and inversion are used to define the thickness of the artificial filling layer.The research shows that the highdensity resistivity method has obvious advantages in delineating the distribution of bedrock and the thickness of the filling layer,and the reliability of the high-density electrical method in the detection of the artificial filling layer,and delineates the scope of the filling layer is verified by the borehole data.

Viability of high-density resistivity method for evaluating mountain slope stability in Erdaojiang District,Tonghua City,China

The authors employ the high-density resistivity method to image the subsurface structure of a mountain in Erdaojiang District,Tonghua City,Jilin Province,China,to evaluate the potential risk of slope failure on surrounding residential areas and infrastructure,and identify a shallow fault that extends across the center of the mountain and is perpendicular to the mountain slope and accurately locate the spatial position and depth of another fault on the southern side of the mountain.The results provide an important basis for evaluating mountain slope stability.This study also demonstrates that the high-density resistivity method is effective for detecting mountain faults.

Application of high-density resistivity method to evaluate safety around Minyan Tunnel,Helong City

By determining the distribution and extent of geological structures surrounding the Mingyan Tunnel,Xicheng Town,Helong City,Jilin Province,we can evaluate the stability of the rock mass and assess potential hazards during tunnel construction.We use the high-density resistivity method to analyze the subsurface structure of the study area.Conductive anomalies are likely to represent joint and fissure systems within strongly weathered host rocks,and the bedrock surrounding the tunnel is relatively stable and does not contain well-developed faults.High-density resistivity analysis can provide valuable information in the context of tunnel engineering and safety.

Application of high-density resistivity method for assessing construction safety of Shimodong tunnel in Helong City of Jilin Province

Some unfavorable geological conditions can affect the construction of tunnels.In order to evaluate the damage degree of tunnel construction and determine the surrounding rock grade and stability of the tunnel,the authors used high-density resistivity method to detect the surrounding rocks of Shimodong tunnel in Xicheng Town of Helong City.The underground resistivity structures of the entrance,exit and middle parts of the tunnel are obtained.Through analysis,it is found that there are no bedrock faults near the tunnel,although some joints and fissures are developed in some locations,which are characterized by low-resistivity anomalies.The tunnel structures are stable overall,favorable for safe and efficient construction.The study also proves the good application effect of the high-density resistivity method in tunnel safety detection.

Application of high-density resistivity method in archaeological investigation of Sumicheng ancient city site

The authors employ the high-density resistivity method during an archaeological investigation of Sumicheng site,an ancient city of the Tang Dynasty,to find evidence of human activities and locate a favorable target for archaeological excavation in the southern part of the outer city.There are two obvious high-resistivity structures,the south wall of the inner city and an ancient building near the south gate along the outer city wall,of which the resistivities are indicative of rammed soil foundations.The south wall of the inner city is continuous but is cut off abruptly to the east,which we suggest it is due to either wall damage or destruction.The resistivity signature of the target area is verified by archaeological excavation,proving the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing the high-density resistivity method for archaeological exploration.

Determining water well sites based on electrical structure in Taobei District of Baicheng

Drilling a well randomly would lead to high uncertainties and could not meet the demand of water supply from the increasing population.It is in dire need to improve success rate of well drilling.The high-density resistivity method offers us a good choice.In this study,high-density resistivity method is used for groundwater survey in five villages in the Taobei District of Baicheng.The data obtained by high-density resistivity method is inverted through Res2dinv software.It is found that the electrical structure is characterized by a horizontal layer distribution,and the resistivity shows a"high-medium low-low"feature from shallow to deep.Moreover,obvious electrical gradient zones are identified in the strata below each section,which are interpreted as tectonic weak zones,i.e.,the faults.The low-resistance anomaly areas are inferred to be favorable aquifers.The results show that high-density resistivity exploration is an efficient and practical method for determining water well sites in rural areas and can provide a guide for finding water resources in the area.

Application Analysis of Various Geophysical Methods in Volume Calculation of Different Landfills

Garbage disposal has gradually become a key issue faced by environmental governance. What must be controlled in garbage disposal is the calculation of garbage volume. In this paper, according to the different landfill conditions of a landfill in Anhui, including: covering soil, overlying HDPE membrane, overlying concrete, etc., combined with the physical differences between the rock mass and the garbage at the bottom of the landfill. The landfill covered with HDPE membrane adopts the transient electromagnetic method, the landfill covered with soil layer adopts the high-density electrical method, and the landfill covered with concrete adopts the combination of transient electromagnetic method and ground penetrating radar. At the same time, Combines the borehole data to determine that the resistivity value of the interface between the garbage and the soil was 29 Ω⋅m. Finally, the sections of multiple survey lines can accomplish three-dimensional stereoscopic that calculate the distribution and actual volume of the garbage. This method is used to determine the final investment cost.
