Enhanced leak detection in tunnel cracks using thermal imaging: A case study on statistical cause analysis
Water leakage is the most common issue in tunnels, with lining cracks being the direct cause of water ingress. To address the challenge of cracks' thermal characteristics being obscured by water in thermal images, this study established a simulation environment for tunnel water leakage, revealing the temperature field variation patterns of lining leaks. Additionally, the features of cracks in thermal images were enhanced. Using the Kaiyuan Tunnel as a case study, a comprehensive thermal imaging detection method for tunnel water leakage was developed. The crack features in thermal images were segmented, and a location distribution map was generated. The inspection results identified the causes of tunnel water leakage and its distribution density. Furthermore, the correlation between tunnel water leakage, surrounding rock geology, and mountain terrain was established. Finally, maintenance recommendations for the tunnel were proposed. This research provides valuable insights and references for the practical application of thermal imaging detection in tunnel scenarios.
期刊介绍:
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
