Description

  The present invention relates to a P & S seismic wave measurement system and measurement method using an underground insertion pipe. More specifically, the present invention relates to a P-wave by applying a vertical hit to the top of a pipe inserted into the underground, The present invention relates to a P & S seismic wave measurement system and a measurement method capable of generating an S wave by giving a horizontal hit along the outer periphery of a middle insertion tube and measuring the generated seismic wave to know the state of the ground.

In recent years, with the increase in earthquake resistance of earthquake-resistant buildings and urban civil engineering structures, there has been a demand for speed logging (PS logging) systems that can be carried out efficiently and economically to large depths. In velocity logging up to a large depth, it is necessary to excite elastic waves that can reach the depth, but this is technically difficult, so far only the velocity logging system of the borehole vibration receiving method has been used. It was put into practical use. However, this system has a problem that the system price is very expensive and it cannot be carried out unless water is present in the hole.
JP 2000-46954 A

  The present invention uses an inexpensive conventional shallow hole downhole type speed logging equipment, and enables P & S that enables speed logging up to a large depth in accordance with the excavation process regardless of the presence or absence of water in the borehole. An object is to provide a seismic wave measurement system and a measurement method.

  The present invention is inserted into a protective tube inserted into the underground hole and transmits the excitation force, and the above-mentioned in order to keep the distance between the protective tube and the underground insertion tube constant. A fixture mounted between the inner periphery of the protection tube and the outer periphery of the underground insertion tube at the top of the protection tube, and a vertical direction provided on the top of the underground insertion tube to receive a vertical hit A striking surface, an outer perimeter striking surface provided on the outer periphery of the underground insertion tube and receiving a horizontal striking along the outer periphery, and inserted into a deep portion of the underground hole, at a predetermined position of the underground hole And a seismometer to be fixed and a measuring device for seismic wave processing connected to the seismometer by a wiring tool.

  The vertical striking surface includes a cap that is mounted on the top of the underground insertion tube and guides the striking hammer in the vertical direction, and a weight that is placed on the cap.

  The outer circumferential striking surface comprises a pair of striking bands consisting of a semicircular portion and a connecting portion extending like a plate from both sides of the semicircular portion, and the semicircular portion is fitted to the outer periphery of the underground insertion tube In the attached state, the coupling portion of the pair of striking bands is coupled and fixed to the underground pipe.

  The seismometer is fixed by inflating the hollow container and pressing it against the wall of the underground hole after reaching a predetermined depth in a state of being attached to the hollow container made of an elastic material. To do.

  Further, in the present invention, when measuring the P wave of the ground, the underground insertion portion of the underground insertion tube is struck by striking the vertical striking surface of the underground insertion tube to vibrate the underground insertion tube. When the P wave from the ground is transmitted to the ground and the S wave of the ground is measured, the ground insertion tube is vibrated by striking the outer circumferential striking surface of the ground insertion tube, and the ground insertion tube The S wave from the underground insertion portion is transmitted to the ground.

  The echo from the ground due to the vibration is received by the seismometer inserted through the inside of the underground insertion pipe to the deepest part of the underground hole.

  The P wave is generated by striking the vertical striking surface with a drop hammer, and the S wave is generated by rotating the outer perimeter striking surface in the clockwise direction along the outer periphery of the underground insertion tube. It is generated by striking in a counterclockwise direction.

With the method of the present invention, velocity logging including S waves, which is essential for seismic surveys, can be made inexpensively by using conventional shallow hole velocity logging equipment, and in balance with the excavation process. Can be implemented well.
In addition, since the distance to the receiver can be shortened compared to the conventional plate-striking method, the attenuation of the S wave is small, and the correction is not necessary because the receiving direction is on the same line in the horizontal direction that conventionally required correction. It becomes.
Furthermore, since it is a combination system of P wave and S wave, it is effective.

The velocity logging is a method for obtaining the velocity when two types of elastic waves of P wave (Primary wave) and S wave (Secondary wave) propagate in the ground using a borehole.
There are two types of elastic waves propagating in the ground: P waves (longitudinal waves) in which the vibration direction of the waves coincides with the traveling direction, and S waves (transverse waves) in which the vibration direction is perpendicular to the traveling direction.
When conducting ground surveys for underground resources, civil engineering projects, construction, disaster prevention, etc., elastic wave exploration and electric / magnetic exploration by artificial earthquakes are conducted.

Elastic wave exploration is a method that utilizes the phenomenon in which elastic waves traveling in the ground are refracted and reflected at boundaries with different physical properties such as density.
Magnetic exploration is a method of grasping the distribution of volcanic rocks with high magnetic susceptibility by measuring the geomagnetic field and determining the distribution of underground magnetic materials.
Electric exploration is a method of grasping the ground properties from the distribution of the difficulty of flowing current through the ground.

As a vibration method in the elastic wave search, a method in which the ground is struck with knuckles or explosives are exploded is used. In the elastic wave search, the longitudinal wave and the transverse wave are measured. Since the longitudinal wave method arrives earlier than the transverse wave, the longitudinal wave is called a primary wave (P wave), and the transverse wave is called a secondary wave (S wave).
In the method of hitting the ground with a crack or the method of exploding explosives, an S wave is hardly generated and a P wave is generated.

  Generally, the geology is from the surface to the deep underground, weathered soil layer with a topsoil layer, a block of rocks, a strong weathered layer with earth and sand at the crack, and a slightly weathered weather with a lot of hard rock It consists of bedrock with some layers and cracks. The velocity of the P wave shows a value of 0.5 to 4.5 Km / sec as it goes from the surface layer to the rock.

Elastic wave search includes reflection seismic exploration and refraction seismic exploration.
Reflection seismic exploration is a technique for elucidating the underground structure by capturing and analyzing where artificially generated elastic waves are reflected at the boundary of the formation where the velocity and density change and return to the surface. is there. Process and analyze the arrival time and amplitude of reflected waves to clarify geological structure forms such as underground velocity structure and formation overlap.

Refraction seismic exploration reveals the geological structure using waves that refract at the boundary surface of the strata where the velocity and density change in the elastic waves that travel through the ground, travel along the stratum boundary, and return to the ground surface It is a method to do.
Refraction seismic exploration can be observed with relatively small systems because it only needs to catch the earliest wave. Analysis of shallow geological structures and conversely large blasting using small seismic sources are possible. As an epicenter, it is widely used when estimating deep ground structure. The seismic reflection method is superior in that it provides detailed information on the strata.
