To investigate the transient electromagnetic method of response characteristics in the tunnel geological prediction, the finite element numerical simulation of unfavorable geological body of different location, different resistivity sizes, different shapes, and different volume size were carried out by ANSYS finite element software. The results show that secondary electromagnetic field of different location of unfavorable geological body have same decay rate, when detection distance from 30m to 70m, transient electromagnetic responses are strongest, followed distance from 10m to 30m and from 70m to 90m. The shape, volume and resistivity of unfavorable geological body have strong influence on transient electromagnetic response, unfavorable geological body more sleek, the greater the volume and the smaller the resistivity of unfavorable geological body, the secondary electromagnetic field decay slower.

Geological Conditions

A numerical model of Transient Electromagnetic Methods, which used to detect geological conditions in tunnels, was created by ANSYS finite element software, and the transient electromagnetic response characteristics of typical unfavorable geological bodies were discussed. The results indicate that the apparent resistivity isoline almost outputs in straight structure, and augments equably with the depth increasing when no unfavorable geological body is in front of the tunnel workface. The apparent resistivity isoline obviously reduces when water-rich karst cave, fault, or fracture exist in the front of the tunnel workface, where water-rich karst cave exists, the apparent resistivity isoline becomes close together, and there is to be an ordered pyramid resistivity-reduced area which can be an evidence of rich water fault. However, it will increase when dry fault or karst cave exist, and the high resistivity area corresponding to dry cave shows some triangles, but this phenomena is hard identified, which need detail analyses according to hydrogeologic data.

Physical Insight

Under complex geologic situations the analysis of induced current distribution, rather than of the scattered field, may provide a useful physical insight into the electromagnetic response characteristics of a conducting ore body. Influence of a conducting cover and inhomogeneity in the conductivity on the currents induced in aspherical conductor excited by a uniform alternating magnetic field has, therefore, been investigated. The analysis shows (a) reduction of the current‐density amplitudes in the core by the cover, (b) occurrence of current‐density maxima inside the conducting system for some characteristic frequencies, (c) enhancement of the in‐phase component in some cases, and (d) reduction of current‐density in the shell with increase in the core conductivity and significant influence of the inhomogeneity in conductivity at low frequencies. Since there is a direct correspondence between the electromagnetic response of a target and the currents induced in it, these results are expected to aid in the interpretation of data over ore deposits having a halo‐zone of disseminated mineralization.

With the continuous improvement of precision requirements for borehole geophysical exploration, the application of transient electromagnetic method (from now on referred to as TEM) in a borehole has become a hot spot. The conventional borehole TEM can only determine the longitudinal depth of the geological anomaly, the radial azimuth and depth cannot be resolved. A double-transmitting and sextuple-receiving borehole TEM is proposed, through which the radial anomaly is excited by the electromagnetic field generated by the double-emitting loops, and the azimuth and depth of the anomaly will be identified by the difference characteristics of the six receiving loops signals. In this paper, the response equations of the transmitting-receiving mode of double-transmitting and sextuple-receiving borehole TEM are deduced, and the response characteristics of the induction segment and the attenuation segment of the receiving loops are obtained based on the response equations under ramp function turn-off condition, providing the basis for theoretical analysis. Due to the negative value of the double-transmitting and sextuple-receiving transient electromagnetic response signals, a negative transformation algorithm under the double logarithmic coordinate system is proposed to provide the essential method for the analysis of two kinds of physical simulation experimental data of the radial azimuth and radial depth detection of the anomaly. The results show that the double-transmitting and sextuple-receiving borehole TEM has decent resolution ability in detecting the radial azimuth of the anomaly, and the effective resolution is 30°. The geometric difference among induced voltages of different measuring points can be used to evaluate the radial depth of the anomaly qualitatively. It is expected that the double-transmitting and sextuple-receiving borehole TEM can provide technical guidance for little borehole geophysical exploration in the fields of oil, natural gas, coal and basic engineering construction.

Design of an experimental apparatus to simulate the geophysics is vital to understand the structural and evolutionary phenomena of a complex geological system. In China that lacking of a suitable comprehensive experimental apparatus for such purposes is a major factor that greatly restricts the developments of geological modeling towards the quantitative and repeatable requirements. In line with the analysis according to geological theories, and change rules of stress-strain of a geological body, the paper provides a design of a powering unit, by means of a PLC based controller, capable of performing functions specified by the experimental apparatus. Some results, obtained from using standard procedures for tectophysics simulation study, of using such an experimental apparatus are given, which showcase that the design is in properly functioning and therefore can be used for similar geological experimental study.
