A Brief Analysis of Karst Survey Mode for Urban Rail Transit Projects in Mountainous City

Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 9

Abstract

Objective In the geological survey for Guiyang urban rail transit projects, karst is a common unfavorable geological condition and also the top geological issue to be confronted. However, the current survey mode of karst problems does not match the demand of Guiyang urban rail transit construction. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a karst survey mode applicable for urban rail transit construction in karst mountainous city. Method Starting from the karst hazards, the technical means, normative constrains and the actual experience from Guiyang City about karst survey are summarized and analyzed. It is then clearly pointed out that the current karst survey mode with “engineering geological mapping first, engineering drilling as the main method, engineering geophysical prospecting as the secondary method” is formed in the course of history, the situation where the contradiction between high resolution requirements and low resolution levels of the karst survey method becomes the principal one in current mountain karst survey for rail transit is discussed. Result & Conclusion Starting from the main contradiction in the current karst survey, and based on the development of technical means in karst survey and specific case analysis, it is concluded through research that the above-mentioned karst survey mode will inevitably evolve into a new survey mode of “starting from engineering needs and guided by geological thinking, with geological mapping first, ground geophysical survey, drilling and borehole geophysical prospecting as supplement and verification, featuring multi-method integration”.
