Imaging a dam-rock interface with inversion of a full elastic-acoustic model
Abstract
We are interested in imaging the interface between the concrete structure of hydroelectric dams and the rock foundation using non-destructive seismic waves. We present a geophysical technique for processing seismic measurements to obtain an image of the interface with metric resolution. The proposed technique is based on "Full Waveform Inversion" with a shape optimization approach. Numerical results using synthetic measurements demonstrate the method ability to accurately recover the interface with a limited number of measurement points and in the presence of noise.
