Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of forward modeling technology, and in particular to a method for constructing a GPR forward model of underground cavities in highways in collapsible loess areas. Background Technology
[0002] The development of underground cavities in highways in collapsible loess areas is a key contributing factor to roadbed settlement, pavement collapse, and structural instability, seriously threatening transportation safety and sustainable economic development. Loess is characterized by its tendency to disintegrate when exposed to water, making it more prone to forming hidden cavities and soil holes. Furthermore, the distribution of these cavities exhibits significant randomness and spatial heterogeneity.
[0003] Ground-penetrating radar (GPR), as an efficient non-destructive testing method, analyzes the characteristics of underground anomalies by analyzing electromagnetic wave reflection signals and has been widely used in highway defect detection. However, most existing GPR forward modeling models are based on deterministic medium assumptions, which oversimplify the medium model, usually simplifying loess layers as homogeneous or layered media, and lack sufficient modeling of parameter stochasticity.
[0004] The parameters of collapsible loess (such as dielectric constant and electrical conductivity) are influenced by factors such as water content and density, exhibiting strong spatiotemporal variability. Simultaneously, the morphology, size, and location distribution of underground cavities also exhibit significant randomness and spatial heterogeneity. Existing methods, employing fixed parameter sets for forward modeling, struggle to reflect the statistical characteristics of parameter distribution, failing to accurately characterize the complexity of collapsible loess strata and the randomness of cavity formation. This results in limited accuracy in cavity identification and insufficient ability to classify cavities.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to construct a GPR forward model that integrates the theory of stochastic cavitation media with multiphysics coupling to improve the accuracy and robustness of underground cavity detection in collapsible loess areas and provide a more reliable scientific basis for highway maintenance decisions.
