Guseltsev","doi":"10.32454/0016-7762-2023-65-4-89-96","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32454/0016-7762-2023-65-4-89-96","url":null,"abstract":"Background. In recent decades, the concept of weakened zones has become widespread in various fields of Earth science. Thus, this concept is currently used in geology, mining, geomechanics, tectonics, geodynamics, and seismology. As a result, weakened zones can be considered and interpreted both as large fault zones, including dilatancy zones, and zones with sharply or quite noticeably changing physical and mechanical properties. At the same time, the purpose of studying and recording such zones also changes, depending on particular research tasks.Aim. To consider structures that are widely termed as weakened zones, although having received no clear definition and classification. To provide a definition of this term from the standpoint of hydrogeology and engineering geology.Materials and methods. The research basis was formed by the author’s long-term experience in the selection of sites for the location of nuclear energy facilities. The main methods included collection, generalization, and processing of information obtained by the author during fieldwork and laboratory research.Results. The author considers structures that are termed as weakened zones in Earth sciences, concerning a fairly wide range of structures and conditions of mountain ranges and soils. A definition of a weakened zone from the standpoint of hydrogeology and engineering geology is proposed. Various factors indicating the presence of weakened zones and possible negative consequences for engineering structures are considered.Conclusion. The concept of weakened zones should be taken into consideration when conducting detailed surveys of areas for the location of engineering facilities. It is noted that, when carrying out detailed surveys, the key to quantifying the characteristics of weakened zones in dispersed soils consists in a correct assessment of the spatial variability of soil parameters, largely the density of dry soil and porosity.","PeriodicalId":508654,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of higher educational establishments.

{"title":"Substantiation for a new non-contact measurement technique in electrical resistance surveys","authors":"A. D. Karinskiy, A. A. Ivanov, I. A. Zudenkov, A. A. Matyushenko, Р. V. Novikov","doi":"10.32454/0016-7762-2023-65-4-27-36","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32454/0016-7762-2023-65-4-27-36","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Methods for electrical resistance surveys include those of electrical sounding and electrical profiling with various arrays. Measurements were originally carried out at direct current, although low-frequency alternating current was used later. In the case of direct current, the sole sources of the primary electric field in these methods comprise the charges of the A, B current electrodes, with the measured value being the electric field voltage E equal to the potential difference ΔUMN in the MN line with the measuring electrodes M, N. According to the measurement results, the apparent electrical resistivity is determined, which is convenient for interpreting the measurement results ρк. However, in some cases, e.g., when conducting measurements in permafrost areas, it can be difficult to ensure reliable grounding of the electrodes. Therefore, half a century ago, research was initiated to substantiate the possibility of contactless measurements in the method of electrical profiling with the alternating current I in the AB line. Until recently, the technique of non-contact measurements and interpretation of the results obtained has been based on approximate approaches, rather than on a strict solution of the forward problem of electrodynamics.Aim. Objective substantiation of the non-contact measurement technique based on the solution of a forward electrodynamics problem.Materials and methods. The data obtained by mathematical simulation were analyzed.Results. The results of calculations for a model corresponding to the possible conditions for contactless measurements in electrical exploration by the resistance method are presented. A case is considered when a generator line AB of a harmonically varying current I is located in the air, at a height h above a homogeneous conducting half-space with a specific electrical ρ2.Conclusion. In comparison with the method currently used for non-contact measurements, it seems more effective to determine the apparent electrical resistivity from the reactive component of the electric field voltage E in the measuring line MN that varies in phase with the current I in the generator line AB.","PeriodicalId":508654,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of higher educational establishments.
