【 摘 要 】

Nowadays, pipe jacking method is usually adopted in the construction of urban underground pipelines. In order to ensure the construction quality of pipe jacking method, geophysical non-destructive prospecting methods are used for detecting the compactness around the jacked pipes. Based on the theory of ground penetrating radar (GPR), the void models of jacked pipes with two different materials (i.e. cement pipe and steel pipe) were established, and the finite element method was used to simulate the 2D forward modeling of GPR. At the same time, combined with the urban underground jacked pipes construction project in Xiangtan city, Hunan province, China, GPR was used to carry out field prospection of the quality of jacked pipes construction. The results of forward simulation and practical applications show that good results can be obtained when GPR is used to detect the construction quality of cement pipes, which is the same as that of using GPR to detect the construction quality of tunnel. But the collected signals are not effective when the steel pipes are detected, which is because the radar signal cannot penetrate the steel pipe, and there are multiple reflections between the radar antenna and the pipe wall. Therefore, new non-destructive prospecting methods are needed for void detection of steel jacked pipes.
