Abstract

Recently many sinkholes have appeared in urban areas of Korea, threatening public safety. To predict the occurrence of sinkholes, it is necessary to investigate the existence of cavity under urban roads. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been recognized as an effective means for detecting underground cavity in urban areas. In order to improve the understanding of the governing physical processes associated with GPR wave propagation, and interpret underground cavity effectively, a theoretical approach using numerical modeling is required. We have developed an algorithm employing a three-dimensional (3D) staggered-grid finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. This approach allows us to model the full electromagnetic wavefield associated with GPR surveys. We examined the GPR response for a simple cavity model, and the modeling results showed that our 3D FDTD modeling algorithm is useful to assess the underground cavity under urban roads.

최근 우리나라 도심지에서 도로 일부가 갑자기 함몰되는 현상이 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이에 의한 피해를 예방하기 위해서는 도로하부의 지하공동의 존재 여부를 조사하는 것이 필요하다. 현재 지표 투과 레이더 탐사(ground-penetrating radar, GPR)가 도심지 도로하부 지하공동을 탐지하기 위한 효과적인 수단으로 인식되고 있다. GPR 탐사방법에 대한 물리적인 과정을 보다 잘 이해하고 지하공동에 대한 효과적인 해석을 위하여 GPR 수치모델링을 통한 이론적인 접근이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 엇갈린 격자(staggered-grid)를 이용한 3차원 시간영역 유한차분(finite-difference time-domain, FDTD) 법을 사용한 GPR 모델링 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 개발된 3차원 모델링 알고리듬을 이용하여 간단한 공동모델에 대한 GPR 반응을 검토하여 도심지 도로하부 공동 탐사에서 지하공동 부존 정보를 얻는데 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
