Abstract

Earth and rock dams are an important part of the flood control system, and hidden dangers in such dams are a serious threat to project safety. The application of a single geophysical exploration technology is associated with multiple solutions and limitations, and research on an integrated technology is meaningful for the timely detection and management of hidden dangers in earth and rock dams. This paper summarizes the respective advantages and limitations of geophysical exploration techniques for leakage detection in dams by sorting out and analyzing their principles and application characteristics. The principles of the integrated technology are outlined, and a data analysis system for GIS-based integrated geophysical exploration is elaborated. The challenges and shortcomings of the development of integrated geophysical exploration techniques are summarized. The theoretical model of integrated geophysical exploration information fusion technology based on data fusion and joint inversion is proposed. The feasibility of establishing the theoretical model based on data fusion and joint inversion is demonstrated, providing a direction for the development and practical application of integrated geophysical exploration techniques in the field of geotechnical engineering.
