A Real-Time Inverted Velocity Model for Fault Detection in Deep-Buried Hard Rock Tunnels Based on a Microseismic Monitoring System

Microseismic monitoring is an effective and widely used technology for dynamic fault disaster early warning and prevention in deep-buried hard rock tunnels. However, the insufficient understanding of the distribution of native faults poses a major challenge to yielding precise early warnings of disasters using an MS (Microseismic Monitoring System). Velocity field inversion is a reliable means to reflect fault information, and there is an urgent need to establish a real-time velocity field inversion method during tunnel excavation. In this paper, a method based on an MS is proposed to achieve the inversion of the velocity field in the monitoring area using microseismic event and excavation blasting data. The velocity field inversion method integrates the reflected wave ray-tracing method based on PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) theory and FWI (Full-Waveform Inversion) theory. The accuracy of the proposed velocity inversion method was verified by various classic numerical simulation cases. In numerical simulations, the robustness of our method is evident in its ability to identify anomalous structural surfaces and velocity discontinuities ahead of the tunnel face.
