Abstract

Various methods, such as geophysical exploration, temperature measurement, and fiber optics, have been developed for detecting the seepage at a dam. In this study, in order to investigate the possibility of leakage detection using dielectric constant of FDR sensor, a physical model consisting of weak and no-weak zones is fabricated and the sensors for dielectric constant, temperature and pore water pressure measurements are installed. As a leakage happens, the dielectric constant changes more rapidly through a weak zone than no-weak zone. In addition, comparing three factors (dielectric constant, temperature, and pore water pressure), the response of dielectric constant to seepage is fast and it is easily recognized even at the end measurement point. Considering these features, it is concluded that it could be possible to cope with the leakage detection quickly and efficiently if the dielectric constant is measured at the downstream slope of a dam.

제체의 누수를 탐지하는 방법으로서 물리탐사, 온도 계측, 광섬유 등 다양한 방법이 개발되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 FDR 센서의 유전율상수를 이용한 누수 탐지의 가능성을 파악하기 위하여 취약부와 미취약부로 구성된 물리모형을 제작하였으며 유전율상수, 온도 및 간극수압 센서를 설치하였다. 누수가 형성됨에 따라 유전율상수는 미취약부보다 취약부에서 빠르게 변화되었다. 또한, 취약부에서 간극수압, 온도 및 유전율 상수를 비교하면 유전율 상수의 반응이 가장 빠르고 하류 계측 지점에서도 쉽게 인지되는 특성을 보였다. 이와 같은 특성을 고려할 때, 제체 하류 구간에서 분포형으로 유전율을 측정한다면 누수 탐지에 빠르고 효율적으로 대처할 수 있을 것으로 파악되었다.
