Abstract

Urban development and the expansion of electrical resistivity surveying applications have increased the need for soil and underground structure investigations on paved surfaces. Traditional methods involved drilling through the pavement or surveying surrounding soil. Recently, non-invasive surveying techniques have been developed. This paper analyzes these methods, categorizing them into galvanic methods (including drilling and flat ground electrodes) and capacitive coupling methods. By examining case studies, it suggests selecting the appropriate method based on the pros and cons of each and the specific site characteristics. The paper also discusses the applicability and limitations of electrical resistivity surveying through various examples.

Keywords

최근 도심지의 발달과 전기비저항 탐사 적용 분야 및 현장의 확대에 따라, 포장된 지표에서 토양이나 지하 구조를 조사하기 위한 탐사의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 과거에는 포장된 표면에서의 탐사는 포장재를 천공하거나 그 주변의 토양에서의 탐사로 대체하였다. 최근 포장재를 손상하지 않고 포장된 지표에서 탐사하는 방법 및 연구 사례들이 늘어남에 따라, 이 논문에서는 이에 대해 분석하고자 한다. 포장 지표에서의 전기비저항 탐사 방법을 기존의 천공 후 전극 삽입 방법, 평판 접지 전극 사용을 포함한 갈바닉 방법과 용량성 결합 방식으로 나누어 각 방법의 적용 사례를 조사하였다. 이를 통해 각 탐사 방법의 장단점과 탐사 현장의 특성을 고려하여 적절한 탐사 방법을 선택할 수 있음을 시사하였다. 마지막으로, 전기비저항 탐사의 적용 가능성과 한계를 다양한 사례를 통해 분석하였습니다.
