A targeted grouting and water blocking method based on hydrological tracer testing and its engineering applications

Abstract

Hydrological tracer testing is an effective way to determine the law of recharge and the transport of groundwater. In karst collapse mine water treatment, the hydrological tracing test can determine information such as the runoff velocity and the pattern of underground runoff, so that targeted grouting becomes possible. In this paper, NaCl was used as a tracer, and the content of the tracer was determined by the chloride ion selective electrode method. The NaCl concentration-time curve was plotted, and we obtained a tracer test method that can determine the runoff of the karst quantificationally. The method can quantificationally obtain the groundwater transport velocity, runoff pattern, and connectivity. This combination of grouting rate, grouting pressure, and setting time realized the localized targeted grouting and achieved a significant water damage control effect.
