Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a tube wave detection signal processing method, and in particular to a tube wave detection signal processing method for karst landform vertical string cave geology. Background Art

[0002] The word "karst" originates from a Yugoslavian place name. Karst landforms primarily refer to various landforms formed by the dissolution of limestone by groundwater and the accompanying mechanical action. Under the influence of water, these areas often contain caves of varying sizes, vividly referred to as "string caves." During construction projects in karst areas, the presence of caves can pose risks such as foundation instability, building subsidence, or collapse. Therefore, it is essential to identify and address these underground caves, such as through grouting reinforcement.

[0003] Currently, the core drilling method is often used to detect caves in karst areas. While this method is intuitive and effective, it is also costly and has a limited detection range. Tube wave detection, a new and increasingly popular detection method, involves transmitting a low-frequency, high-energy pulse signal from a transmitter probe into a liquid-filled borehole. The transmitter vibrates and interacts with the pore fluid, generating tube waves between the fluid and the borehole wall. After propagating for a certain distance, the tube waves generate reflection waves as the geological conditions change. These reflections are received by a receiver probe located synchronously near the transmitter probe and output as a tube wave detection time profile via an electronic recorder. Analysis of these tube wave detection time profiles reveals the distribution of caves near the borehole. However, current analysis of tube wave detection results often relies on amplitude changes along the measured line of the tube wave detection time profile. This approach has significant drawbacks, being susceptible to interference and resulting in large errors. Furthermore, the complex and variable nature of caves in karst regions makes this analysis method unsuitable for field applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for processing geological tube wave detection signals for vertical string caves in karst landforms to minimize the interference of uncertain factors and present the essential characteristics of the signals, so as to facilitate accurate interpretation and analysis of the signals and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent projects.
