Abstract
In order to ascertain the concealed bedrock and its spatial distribution in an urban low-resistance coverage area of a typical lacustrine basin in Hunan Province, a multi-method comprehensive experimental study was carried out in Dingcheng District, Changde City where there are multiple sets of strata and fault structures. In this study, the wide-area electromagnetic method and microtremor survey were utilized on the basis of traditional methods, including the high-density resistivity method and controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric method, to infer the concealed Cambrian limestone, fault structure, and vertical distribution of strata and the results were verified by drilling. The results indicate that the wide-area electromagnetic method is effective to explore the bedrock and concealed structure in urban geological survey. The microtremor method has an obvious effect on the detection of the Cretaceous and Quaternary silty strata within 100 m. The study may provide references for similar projects in this area.
