Water inrush during tunneling is a significant problem in the underground infrastructure construction. Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) is a technique that can detect and characterize a water body in an open fracture or fault by exploiting the resistivity contrast that exists between the water body and the surrounding materials. ERI is an efficient method for pre-tunneling geological characterization. In this study, a case study is presented in which tunnel-face and borehole ERI (TBERI) is performed by using the probe hole to detect a water body during tunnel construction. The construction site is a metro line site, situated in the city of Qingdao, China. Unlike the traditional cross-hole observation mode, TBERI only use a single borehole. The installation of injection electrodes inside the probe hole and the installation of measuring electrodes on the tunnel face is proposed as the observation mode. Furthermore, a numerical simulation is carried out before the real field experiment, and the simulation results show that the TBERI is capable of detecting a deeply buried water body. In addition, the water body in the field case is also identified by TBERI. The water body appears as a strongly conductive anomaly relative to the background materials. This study highlights the respective strengths and weaknesses of the TBERI for pre-tunneling geological characterization. This method is a relatively rapid means of investigating the studied area This study clearly demonstrates the suitability of TBERI in a tunneling scenario. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.
