This invention discloses a method for monitoring the grouting effect in goaf areas based on
fiber optic sensing. The method includes: lowering a sensing optical cable
assembly into a vertical grouting hole; then, using a hole-mouth optical cable
winch, slowly lowering the
assembly to the bottom of the goaf; the optical cable passing through the grouting sealing
flange and connecting to a distributed
fiber optic DAS device; during grouting, the distributed
fiber optic DAS device collects
acoustic wave data in real time; based on the energy accumulation and integration value of the
acoustic wave data, significant peak channels of the
grout surface are identified through mathematical modeling and optimization constraints to locate the
grout surface position; combined with the depth information of the optical cable in the hole, the final position of the
grout surface within the goaf is determined; and by continuously collecting and
processing fiber optic scattering signals through the distributed fiber optic DAS device, real-time
dynamic monitoring of the grout level height in the hole is achieved. This invention can automatically monitor changes in the grout surface during grouting, evaluate the grouting effect in real time, and provide data support for real-
time control of the grouting process.
