Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microseismic monitoring, and in particular to a tunnel microseismic enhanced positioning method and system based on DAS and blasting active source signals. Background Art
[0002] Before macroscopic failure, a rock mass usually generates many small microfractures, namely microseismic events. These microfractures will release elastic waves, and the elastic waves can radiate outward along the medium; the elastic wave information can be received by sensors installed within the effective range, and then the time, location, and nature of the microfractures in the rock mass can be obtained through the inversion method. According to the size, concentration degree, and fracture density of the microfractures, the development trend of the macroscopic fracture of the rock mass can be inferred. In engineering, the arrival time difference of elastic waves is often monitored by multiple monitoring stations, and then the microseismic source location is inversely calculated by combining the velocity model and geometric algorithm. The positioning principle is as Figure 1 shown.
[0003] Generally, the factors affecting the microseismic source positioning accuracy are: the accuracy of the velocity model, the arrival time picking error, and the sensor (monitoring station) layout scheme. For the velocity model, in the actual construction process, it is often assumed that the rock mass is an isotropic homogeneous medium, and a single fixed velocity model is used for inversion calculation; however, in reality, the rock mass is usually an anisotropic inhomogeneous medium, and using a single velocity model is likely to cause large errors. Moreover, the vibration and shock waves generated by each round of blasting may cause varying degrees of damage to the tunnel surrounding rock, and the rock mass wave velocity field may also change accordingly, thus affecting the microseismic positioning accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and calibrate the wave velocity field model in zones based on geological exploration and on-site inversion data in real time. However, due to the complexity of traditional active source devices and poor compatibility with the environment, it is difficult to achieve dynamic update of the wave velocity field, that is, recalibrate the wave velocity field after each round of blasting, which will seriously delay the construction period and increase the project cost. For the sensor layout scheme, currently, it is common to arrange multiple (at least four) geophones in boreholes on the tunnel wall at different positions to form a spatial geometric distribution. However, as point sensors, the layout density of geophones is limited by cost and construction conditions, and it is impossible to achieve full-range, high-density, distributed sensing of the tunnel. Especially in areas with complex geological structures, a sparse sensor network is likely to generate microseismic positioning blind spots and thus cause engineering safety problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to solve the current microseismic monitoring technical problems and improve the microseismic source positioning accuracy. And the factors affecting the arrival time picking error usually include: source characteristics, waveform overlap, environmental noise, sensor layout scheme, instrument error, and signal processing method, etc.
[0004] After retrieval, articles on optimizing the microseismic source location of coalbed methane hydraulic fracturing using distributed fiber optic acoustic sensing technology in the prior art have been published. It uses distributed fiber-optic acoustic sensing (DAS) technology to permanently arrange optical fibers outside the casing of coalbed methane reservoir wells. Based on waveform travel time information and a source constraint mapping algorithm, it conducts real-time monitoring of micro-vibrations during the process of coalbed hydraulic fracturing. However, this method has not been applied in the field of tunnel drilling and blasting. The main reasons are the differences in application scenarios and objectives, optical fiber layout methods, data processing and positioning algorithms, technical difficulties, etc. between the two. It is necessary to improve and innovate this method in combination with the characteristics of tunnel construction and the principle of fiber optic sensing. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0050] (1) Compared with the traditional method of using seismic wave signals generated by hammering or the like as the active source to calibrate the wave velocity field, the present invention uses the seismic wave signals generated by face blasting as the active source signals to calibrate the wave velocity field, and the active source signals have large amplitudes, small attenuation, and long durations.
[0051] (2) During the tunnel drilling and blasting process, by improving the optical fiber layout scheme and using DAS instead of traditional point sensors, and using the known space-time blasting active source signals generated by face blasting to replace the traditional artificial seismic source signals to calibrate the wave velocity field, not only can the optimization (zoning establishment) and dynamic update of the wave velocity field model be realized with fewer processes, but also the full-range, wide-azimuth, and high-density distributed sensing of tunnel microseismic signals can be realized through the optimized sensor layout scheme, achieving the combination of high-density data of DAS and dynamic calibration of active source signals.
[0052] (3) Compared with traditional geophones, optical fibers have the advantages of anti-electromagnetic interference, high temperature and high pressure resistance, and permanent use after one-time installation, can provide richer information for microseismic positioning, and significantly enhance the monitoring and evaluation capabilities of tunnel microseismic events.
[0053] The innovation points of the present invention are as follows:
[0054] (1) Establish the wave velocity field in zones and use the acoustic wave signals generated by tunnel face blasting as the active source signals to dynamically update the wave velocity field. Compared with the traditional methods, either the wave velocity field is not established in zones, that is, it is defaulted that the wave velocity field in the monitoring area is the same, or a static wave velocity field model is used, both of which will lead to distortion of source parameters and a decrease in positioning accuracy. The microseismic source positioning method provided by the present invention can largely solve the above problems and significantly improve the positioning accuracy of microseismic sources;
[0055] (2) Using DAS technology for distributed sensing, that is, full-area sensing. Only one optical fiber is needed to achieve full-area, high-precision, and distributed sensing. Compared with traditional geophones, the present invention can greatly reduce the microseismic positioning blind area, ensure construction safety, and has lower costs and better cost performance.

[0072] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 , several transverse optical fibers 200 include a part of the transverse optical fibers 200 arranged at intervals D1 in the low-risk area of the tunnel and a part of the transverse optical fibers arranged at intervals D2 in the high-risk area of the tunnel. The value of D1 is 5 - 8m, and the value of D2 is 2 - 3m. Among them, the low-risk area of the tunnel refers to the end far from the tunnel face, and the high-risk area of the tunnel refers to the end close to the tunnel face. The purpose of such a setting is to improve the monitoring accuracy of the key area (i.e., the high-risk area) while saving resources.
[0073] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , several longitudinal optical fibers 100 are all covered on the surface of the tunnel wall in a straight-line segment manner, and several transverse optical fibers 200 are all covered on the entire cross-section of the tunnel wall in a U-shaped manner.

One path combines the linear frequency-swept pulse signal generated by the arbitrary waveform generator 405, is modulated to the detection light by the optical modulator 403, and then is emitted into the optical fiber to be measured through the optical isolator 404 and the circulator 406; the other path serves as the local reference light. The Rayleigh backscattered light generated by the detection light returning from the optical fiber to be measured will be superimposed together, and is beat with the local reference light and converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is converted into a digital signal by the analog-to-digital converter 409 and sent to the processor 410 for processing, and vibration data is obtained after demodulation.
