Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of civil engineering, and in particular to a method for quickly detecting a tunnel passing through a large karst cave. Background Art
[0002] Cave crossing refers to the process of using specific detection and construction techniques to cross caves formed by soluble rocks under the action of karst, which have the characteristics of diverse shapes, wide distribution, and large development scale. It has a wide range of applications, including underground transportation hubs and underground commercial blocks in urban planning, underground tourist attractions and underground museums in tourism development, as well as mineral exploration, groundwater resource development, environmental monitoring and many other aspects.
[0003] In tunnel engineering, especially when crossing large karst cave areas, the complexity and uncertainty of geological conditions pose great challenges to construction. Traditional detection methods often rely on geological exploration and manual excavation, which are not only time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to accurately and comprehensively grasp the specific conditions and distribution characteristics of karst caves. Therefore, in the process of tunnel excavation, sudden exposure of karst caves, water and mud gushing, and other emergencies are often encountered, which seriously threaten the safety and progress of construction. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: A method for rapid detection of a tunnel passing through a large karst cave, comprising the following steps: S1: detection position selection and borehole drilling: selecting a detection position in the tunnel and drilling a borehole; S2: Borehole radar installation: installing the borehole radar to a predetermined depth in the borehole; S3: Ground radar installation: Install ground radar on the surface of the tunnel or on the wall of the tunnel; S4: Radar data collection start: start the borehole radar and ground radar, and start data collection; S5: Data processing and analysis to generate tomographic images: Process and analyze the collected data to generate tomographic images of the medium; S6: Cave identification and analysis: Based on the tomographic images, the caves in the tunnel are identified and analyzed; S7: Safety measures and construction plan formulation: Formulate safety measures and construction plan for tunnel excavation according to the location, shape and filling conditions of the cave; S8: Dynamic adjustment of detection parameters: During the tunnel excavation process, the detection parameters of the borehole radar and ground radar are dynamically adjusted according to the changes in the cave.
[0006] As a preferred implementation, in the step S1 of selecting the detection position and drilling the borehole, the selection of the detection position should be based on the geological survey data of the tunnel, the historical cave distribution data and the tunnel excavation plan to ensure that the selected position can representatively reflect the geological characteristics and cave distribution of the tunnel crossing area. The drilling of the borehole must comply with the geological drilling specifications to ensure that the diameter, depth and inclination of the borehole meet the installation and detection requirements of the borehole radar, while avoiding adverse effects on the safety of the tunnel structure.
[0007] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is: this selection method improves the pertinence and accuracy of detection, provides a reliable basis for subsequent cave identification and analysis, and at the same time, drilling holes in accordance with geological drilling specifications ensures that the diameter, depth and inclination of the borehole meet the installation and detection requirements of the borehole radar, avoiding adverse effects on the safety of the tunnel structure.
[0008] As a preferred implementation, in the installation of the borehole radar in step S2, the installation depth of the borehole radar should be determined comprehensively based on the expected cave depth, geological characteristics and radar detection capabilities.

During the identification process, geological interpretation software and tools should be used, combined with geological principles and cave development laws, to accurately identify and classify the caves. During the analysis process, the safety risks and construction difficulties that the caves may cause to tunnel excavation should also be considered, so as to provide a basis for the formulation of subsequent safety measures and construction plans.

During the installation process, close contact between the radar antenna and the borehole wall must be ensured to reduce signal attenuation and interference and improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection data.
[0029] Specifically, in step S3 of setting up the ground radar, the location of the ground radar should be determined comprehensively based on the topography, geological characteristics and detection requirements of the tunnel. The ground radar should be installed in a position that can fully cover the internal medium of the tunnel and is easy to operate and maintain, ensuring good contact between the radar antenna and the internal medium of the tunnel.
[0030] Specifically, in step S4, when radar data acquisition is started, before starting the borehole radar and ground radar, the equipment needs to be preheated and calibrated to ensure that the equipment is in the best working condition. During the data collection process, the data quality should be monitored in real time, and data anomalies should be discovered and processed in time to ensure that the collected data is accurate, complete and reliable.
[0031] Specifically, in step S5, data processing and analysis are performed to generate a tomographic image. Advanced image processing techniques and algorithms should be used for data processing and analysis to filter, denoise, enhance, and other processes on the collected data to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution of the data.
