Abstract:
The existing geological data show that there are several buried faults in the main urban area of Chengdu. However, the specific location and distribution of these faults are still unclear, which poses great security risks to the comprehensive and scientific exploitation and utilization of underground space resources and the optimization of urban construction planning and layout in Chengdu. In view of such a situation, four geophysical methods, namely, micromotion survey, high-density electrical method, transient electromagnetic method and soil radon measurement, were used in this paper to comprehensively explore the buried Baojiangqiao fault in the work area. The integrated geophysical prospecting methods not only identified the stratigraphic structure along the survey line, but also obtained the location, property, attitude and scale of the buried Baojiangqiao fault. This work indicates that the integrated geophysical prospecting methods can achieve better results in the exploration of urban buried fault.
