The Application of Rayleigh Wave Method in the Underground Void Area Exploration

Abstract

Abstract Underground voiding refers to the phenomenon that abnormal looseness, plate breakage, increase in porosity of underground medium lead to the formation of voids that decrease the stability of stratum and weaken the physical and mechanical properties. For example, road underground voiding will seriously affect the comfort and safety of vehicle driving. At present, the engineering geophysical prospecting technology is mainly used to detect the void area. In this paper, the elastic wave simulation method is used to study the response of the Rayleigh wave method to the underground void of the pavement. The response regularity is explored by adjusting the model parameters. The outdoor experiment is carried out according to the law parameters, and the effectiveness of the elastic wave for the detection of shallow surface voids is verified.
