Abstract

Non-aqueous reactive polymer grouting technology has been widely used in the repair engineering of dikes and dams with shallow diseases. By using the finite difference time-domain method and perfectly matched layer boundary conditions, the calculation model of dikes and dams with shallow diseases such as water-filled cave, air-filled cave and incompact area is established. The propagation process of electromagnetic waves of ground-penetrating radar in dikes and dams with shallow diseases using polymer grouting repair is simulated, and the forward simulation profiles and single-channel waveforms are obtained. The propagation characteristics such as waveform amplitude, waveform shape, transmission time, and reflection time are compared and analyzed. The results show that the forward simulation profiles of dikes and dams with water-filled caves before and after polymer grouting repair present two clusters of hyperbolas, but three clusters of hyperbolas with different amplitudes were observed at 50% repair. The amplitude of the hyperbola and the single-channel reflected waves before repair and 50% repair of the cave and incompact area are greater than those of 100% repair. The propagation characteristics of ground-penetrating radar can effectively explain the degree of polymer grouting repair for dikes and dams with shallow diseases, and provide a theoretical basis for using the ground-penetrating radar to evaluate the effect of polymer grouting technology to repair dikes and dams with shallow diseases.
