Study of Tunnel-Face to Borehole ERI (TBERI) Measurement Configurations and Its Optimization

Most of the existing electrical-resistivity-based ahead prospecting methods in tunnel use only the tunnel cavity and tunnel face space to locate the water-bearing structures in front of the tunnel. However, due to the limitation of the narrow available space for arranging electrodes in tunnel, this...

description Most of the existing electrical-resistivity-based ahead prospecting methods in tunnel use only the tunnel cavity and tunnel face space to locate the water-bearing structures in front of the tunnel. However, due to the limitation of the narrow available space for arranging electrodes in tunnel, this kind of method is difficult to achieve more accurate image for water-bearing structures. The cross-hole electrical resistivity tomography (CHERT) and borehole-to-surface electrical resistivity tomography (BSERT) methods using borehole space have been proved effective means to achieve better images of deep anomalies on the surface. In this paper, the tunnel-face and borehole ERI (TBERI) method in tunnels was studied. To less affect the construction progress, the pole-pole configuration using a single borehole was studied in this paper. Moreover, the configuration is optimized based on the block weighted CR optimization strategy. After considering the data combination, an effective measurement configuration suitable for TBERI detection was formed. To accelerate calculation, some redundant data are removed from the obtained data after proposed block weighted optimization is conducted. By adopting the proposed configuration, the abnormal objects in the target area in the inversion are more accurate. The effectiveness of proposed configuration is verified by numerical simulation.
