Politechniki 1, 00-661 Warszawa, Poland, e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The paper presents the analysis of the II Underground Line construction’s impact on the Warsaw Scarp with the use of the electrical resistivity imaging (ERI, also known as the electrical resistivity tomography) and further total station po- sition measurements. The underground passes under the scarp perpendicular in the area of Dynasy Street 6, in Down- town district. The electrical resistivity imaging was performed for recognition of the geological structure and a poten- tial landslide surface or zone. The gradient system was used during the prospection. In these analyses, the longitudinal section was 40 m long, and the depth of survey amounted to 6 m. In the case of the 200 m long transverse section, the resulted depth of survey was 30 m. The geophysical image of the longitudinal section, does not contain loosening soil zones, which could indicate slip surface. Next, total station measurements, which were tied to the archival geodetic ob- servations’ results, were carried out. The aim of the measurements was to verify the activity of the horizontal and ver- tical displacements. The TBM excavation process led to summary vertical displacements up to approx. 24 mm and horizontal displacements amounting to approx. 13 mm. To sum up, the current land surveys reveals minor underground line’s construction impact on the scarp displacement. Nevertheless, the sensitive urban environment requires further monitoring, especially that the operation loads can result in displacement rate change. Key words: electrical resistivity imaging, position measurements, underground, Warsaw Scarp, displacements Manuscript received 27 April 2016, accepted 26 October 2016 INTRODUCTION The scarp stability as a state of forces equilibrium is changing over time (Duncan and Wright, 2005). The changes are determined by infrastructure, as well as, natural variabil- ity of soil and water-related conditions. One of the places where the magnitude of destabilizing forces and opposite to them forces has changed is the Warsaw Scarp in Powiœle dis- trict, due to the construction process of the 2nd underground line using Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM). The above men- tioned location is a place of intersection of a communication line with Quaternary and Mio-Pliocene sediments. The con- struction of the underground in Warsaw is an example of a complex and large investment interfering in an urbanized area. In the past, such constructions caused risk to human lives and financial loss, e.g. the construction of W-Z road from which the displacement of the Warsaw Scarp origi- nated. In that case, the ruins of the Royal Castle and the Church of Saint Anna were endangered. Another example worth noting is an archival case study of the Wis³ostrada road damage, caused by the TBM work. The City Center part of the Warsaw Scarp in the neigh- borhood of Powisle district is a very attractive place for in- vestment, due to its landscape values. The geological condi- tion of this area can be found in numerous papers (e.g. Wysokiñski,1999; Sarnacka, 1992). The investment process which is the construction of the underground II line with the description of geodetic and geotechnical monitoring was presented in the executive project (ILF, 2010). The task of monitoring the movements has been developed on the basis of earlier scientific studies carried out on the behalf of Metro by WoŸniak (2007). Details of the results of observations conducted during the underground construction were col- lected in the information system, which interface for data management and communication with the user was available in the form of a website (http://www.ddsmonitoring.com/in- dex.php). This paper presents recognition of the underground II line construction impact on the Warsaw Scarp by means of geophysical electrical resistance tomography, and use of sur- veys to support the correct interpretation of the final results.

IN TRO DUC TION

The scarp sta bil ity as a state of forces equi lib rium ischang ing over time (Duncan and Wright, 2005). The changes are de ter mined by in fra struc ture, as well as, nat u ral vari abil -ity of soil and wa ter-re lated con di tions. One of the placeswhere the mag ni tude of destabilizing forces and op po site tothem forces has changed is the War saw Scarp in Powiœle dis -trict, due to the con struc tion pro cess of the 2nd un der groundline us ing Tun nel Bor ing Ma chines (TBM). The above men -tioned lo ca tion is a place of in ter sec tion of a com mu ni ca tionline with Qua ter nary and Mio-Plio cene sed i ments. The con -struc tion of the un der ground in War saw is an ex am ple of acom plex and large in vest ment in ter fer ing in an ur ban izedarea. In the past, such con struc tions caused risk to hu manlives and fi nan cial loss, e.g. the con struc tion of W-Z roadfrom which the dis place ment of the War saw Scarp orig i -nated. In that case, the ru ins of the Royal Cas tle and theChurch of Saint Anna were en dan gered. An other ex am pleworth not ing is an ar chi val case study of the Wis³ostrada road dam age, caused by the TBM work.

The City Cen ter part of the War saw Scarp in the neigh -bor hood of Powisle dis trict is a very at trac tive place for in -vest ment, due to its land scape val ues. The geo log i cal condi-tion of this area can be found in nu mer ous pa pers (e.g.Wysokiñski,1999; Sarnacka, 1992). The in vest ment pro cesswhich is the con struc tion of the un der ground II line with thede scrip tion of geo detic and geotechnical mon i tor ing waspre sented in the ex ec u tive pro ject (ILF, 2010). The task ofmon i tor ing the move ments has been de vel oped on the ba sisof ear lier sci en tific stud ies car ried out on the be half of Metroby WoŸniak (2007). De tails of the re sults of ob ser va tionscon ducted dur ing the un der ground con struc tion were col -lected in the in for ma tion sys tem, which in ter face for dataman age ment and com mu ni ca tion with the user was avail ablein the form of a website (http://www.ddsmonitoring.com/in -dex.php).

This pa per pres ents rec og ni tion of the un der ground IIline con struc tion im pact on the War saw Scarp by means ofgeo phys i cal elec tri cal re sis tance to mog ra phy, and use of sur -veys to sup port the cor rect in ter pre ta tion of the fi nal re sults.

RE GIONAL SET TINGS

The study area is lo cated in the cen ter of War saw, eastpart of Powiœle bor ough in Down town dis trict and cov ered apart of the War saw Scarp, un der which passes the War sawUn der ground Line II (Fig. 1). Bartoszewicza Street runsalong this part of the scarp, with Dynasy Street along its foot.The scarp height is approx. 17.5 m and in cli na tion of thescarp is approx. 36o in ref er ence to geo detic mea sure ments.

The geo log i cal struc ture of the Scarp con sists of a com -plex sys tem of de pos its. The first layer which can be in di -cated in the War saw pla teau and Vistula val ley is made-ground of about 3 m in thick ness (Bajda and Falkowski,2014). The crown of the scarp, un der the fill, con sists of tillsfrom Warta gla ci ation (about 1-m-thick layer) and Odra gla -ci ation (about 10.5-m-thick layer; Wysokiñski, 1999). These two lay ers are interbedded by flu vio gla cial me dium sand(sev eral me ters in thick ness). Near the sur face of the scarpthere is col lu vium zone. Fur ther more, be low the tills in thecrown of the scarp and val ley de pos its is a Mio-Plio cene claylayer. In the Vistula Val ley, be low the fill, there is a thin layer

of flu vial silt and next un der lies a thin layer of me dium sand(flu vial de pos its). Fig ure 2 shows a scheme of the geo log i calstruc ture (Wysokiñski, 1999; 2013) and the lo ca tion of theun der ground tun nel with the build ings in the Vistula val ley.

The ground wa ter level is approx. 14 m be low ter rainsur face of the scarp crown and 4.7 m be low ground level atthe scarp toe (Wysokiñski, 1999).

METH ODS

The elec tri cal re sis tiv ity im ag ing was performed for rec -og ni tion of geo log i cal struc ture and a po ten tial land slide sur -face or zone. In or der to ver ify pres ence of the mass move-ments pro cess ex pressed by the ac tiv ity of the hor i zon tal andver ti cal dis place ments, the avail able re sults of land sur vey -ing in the area were an a lyzed, and some ad di tional mea sure -ments us ing high pre ci sion au to matic to tal sta tion were madepro vid ing de tails on the three co or di nates of the con trolledpoints. The in cli na tion of the scarp and its height above un-derground line were ad di tional re sults of geo detic sur vey ing.

Elec tri cal re sis tiv ity im ag ing

The most pop u lar geo phys i cal tech niques are elec tri calre sis tiv ity im ag ing, the seis mic mea sure ments (Tucholka etal., 2008) and the ground-pen e trat ing ra dar (Welc et al.,2013 and Lejzerowicz et al., 2014). The elec tri cal re sis tiv ityim ag ing (ERI) was cho sen ac cord ing to the prospection con -di tions and a large prospection range. There fore, two elec tri -cal re sis tiv ity sec tions were mea sured for this area of thescarp; one in a di rec tion along the un der ground tun nel, andthe other in the trans verse di rec tion (Fig. 3).

The elec tri cal re sis tiv ity im ag ing method for soil sur vey -ing was de vel oped by the Schlumberger broth ers in 1920(Loke, 2000). As shown by many re search re sults, thismethod en ables a va ri ety of in ter pre ta tions re gard ing thechar ac ter is tics of the stud ied soil. The ERI al lows, amongoth ers, the iden ti fi ca tion of the land slide sur face in the scarp(Perrone et al., 2014; Kowalczyk et al., 2014; Kaczmarek etal., 2015). This method uses the phe nom e non of the flow ofdi rect cur rent through the soil for de ter min ing its phys i calchar ac ter is tics based on the prop a ga tion of the elec tri cal sig -nal. The big gest ad van tage of the ERI is the pos si bil ity of ob -tain ing a 2-D elec tri cal cross-sec tion along the stud ied pro-file. The the o ret i cal ba sis of the ERI is de scribed by Loke(2012). Dur ing the sur vey made along the en tire length of theelec tri cal re sis tiv ity sec tion in a sin gle pro cess con trolled bythe mea sure ment equip ment, all the elec trodes are ar rangedat an even dis tance from each other be fore the anal y ses be gin. In these anal y ses, the lon gi tu di nal sec tion was 40 m long, and the clear ance be tween the in di vid ual elec trodes equaled 1 m,so that the sur vey ing depth amounted to 6 m. Such prospec-tion, in the case of ~17.5 m height scarp, is suf fi cient for de -tec tion of loos en ing zone of shal low slip sur face. If the slipsur face is lo cated deeper, the ter rain sur face geo detic mea-surements will in di cate the risk of mass move ments. The 200 mlong trans verse sec tion has elec trodes spaced in 2.5 m in ter -vals, thus re sult ing in a 30 m sur vey. Dur ing the data ac qui si -tion, the main unit sys tem syn chro nously and grad u allyac ti vates the re spec tive elec trodes (as per the mea sure ment

sys tem se lected by the op er a tor). This re sults in the reg is tra -tion of the re sis tance dis tri bu tion along the sec tion with thepre ci sion de ter mined by the dis tance be tween the elec trodes.The study used one of the most pop u lar sys tems, the gra di entsys tem, which pro vided rapid iden ti fi ca tion and a good res o -lu tion of the cross-sec tion, al low ing the iden ti fi ca tion of each soil layer. In this sys tem, one of the two cur rent elec trodes wasgrad u ally moved fur ther away, with the po si tion of the otherone and of the two mea sure ment elec trodes un changed (Dah-lin and Zhou, 2004). Reg is tra tion ac cu racy of lat eral vari abil -ity is equal half of the elec trodes spac ing (Dwain and But ler,2005). The geo phys i cal sur vey ing was per formed us ing to -mog ra phy equip ment pro duced by the Abem Com pany. Thesource data from the to mog ra phy equip ment was pro cessed inthe RES2Dinv soft ware and used to cre ate a graph i cal vi su al -iza tion us ing the Surfer soft ware.

Sur vey ing – pre ci sion to tal sta tion

Is sues re lat ing to the mea sure ment of ter rain sur face andfa cil i ties dis place ments were pre sented in PN-N-02211(2000) and the GUGiK guide lines G3.1-2007. Ad di tion ally,is sues as so ci ated with land sur vey ing of dis place ments in ur -ban en vi ron ment like War saw me trop o lis were de scribed inWoŸniak (1999); WoŸniak and ¯aczek-Pepliñska (2014).A detailed de scrip tion of the the o ret i cal ba sis with ex am plesof cal cu la tion for de ter min ing dis place ment of mea sure mentpoints can be found in pa pers by Lazzarini (1977) as well asPrószyñski and Kwaœniak (2006). The use of high-pre ci sionto tal sta tions for mea sure ments in the study of dis place mentsand con di tions of this work was pre sented in the pa per ofWoŸniak (2005).

In or der to ver ify the re sults of geo phys i cal sur vey ingcon cern ing the iden ti fi ca tion of the land slide sur face, the to -tal sta tion-as sisted sur vey ing was used. A pre ci sion LeicaTM30 to tal sta tion was se lected for con duct ing the mea sure -ments. The se lected tech nique de ter mined the size of the dis -place ments of a group of the con trolled points, sta bi lizedshal low in the ground (0.3–0.5 m be low ter rain sur face). Inor der to eval u ate the be hav ior of the soil in the tun nel con -struc tion area as ter rain sur face changes, two trans verse sec -tions of con trolled points on the scarp were se lected inre la tion to the un der ground tun nel routes, rep re sented by the5 an a lyzed points on each of them (Fig. 4). The dis tance be -tween both sec tions was be tween 8–10 m. The mea sure ments of con trolled points en abled de ter min ing three spa tial com -po nents DX, DY and DZ in the lo cal War saw co or di nate sys -tem – the Warszawa’75 co or di nate sys tem.

The de signed con trol net work, apart from the con trolledpoints, in cluded also the sites for the ap pa ra tus (to tal sta tion)and a group of points con sti tut ing a ref er ence sys tem (ref er -ence points RP01, RP02, RP03) lo cated out side the zone ofdi rect im pact of the con struc tion dur ing the mon i tor ing ofdis place ments (Fig. 4). The in ter nal con sis tency and con -stancy of ref er ence points were tested in ear lier works with

use of clas si cal geo detic tech niques and sat el lite sur veys(WoŸniak, 2007).

The mea sure ments be gan with the des ig na tion of co or di -nates of all points of the con trol net work in re la tion to the lo -cal co or di nate sys tem based on the geo detic con trol net workof the area. All ob ser va tions re lated to the ref er ence and con -trol points were equal ized us ing the method of least squares,and thus ob tain ing the aligned x, y and z val ues. These werecon sid ered as base line val ues for fur ther de ter mi na tion of the dis place ments.

The free-sta tion tech nique was used to con duct the mea -sure ment; per formed from an un ster il ized site (ST01) basedon spa tial re sec tion per formed each time rel a tive to the ref er -ence points (RP01, RP02, RP03). Fig ure 4 pres ents the fieldsit u a tion with con trolled and ref er ence points. The ref er encepro ce dure was car ried out us ing the free-sta tion sub-ap pli ca -tion in the in stru ment, which al lowed to de ter mine the cur -rent co or di nates of the site and the ori en ta tion of the gradua-ted cir cle of the in stru ment. The overdetermination of solv -ing the task of spa tial re sec tion al lowed not only to de ter minethe site pa ram e ters, but also to ver ify the sta bil ity of ref er ence points be tween the ob ser va tion cy cles. The next step was thede ter mi na tion of the cur rent co or di nates of the con trolledpoints (MP01; MP05A; MP01B; MP05B) by means of thera dial sur vey in suc ces sive ob ser va tion cy cles, while us ingthe spa tial so lu tion re lated to trig o no met ric lev el ing. As a re -sult, the cur rent val ues of spa tial co or di nates in a sin gle co or -di nate sys tem were ac quired.

The used pro ce dure of con nect ing to the ref er ence points was com bined with an anal y sis of the mean er ror in the de ter -mi na tion of the site’s po si tion and spa tial ori en ta tion. The re -ports from the course of the re sec tion ac cord ing to the LeicaTM30 soft ware in di cate sta bil ity of the points used by the au -thors to con nect and ref er ence the dis place ment de ter mi na -tion re sults.

This pro ce dure could greatlyex tend the pro cess of mea sur ing and de ter min ing the dis -place ments, with out no tice able pre ci sion ef fects. The in di -cated po si tion and ori en ta tion of the in stru ment is the ba sisfor de ter min ing the cur rent co or di nates of all the con trolledpoints in a given ob ser va tion cy cle.

Dur ing the anal y sis of the re sults of to tal sta tion ob ser va -tions of the mon i tored ob ject (the sur face of the War sawScarp), it is im por tant to have in for ma tion on the ob tained ac -cu racy of the sur vey ing re sults. The so-called mean er ror(mp) of the point po si tion may be adapted as a pa ram e ter de -scrib ing the ac cu racy of de ter min ing the hor i zon tal po si tionof the point, de fined ac cord ing to the fol low ing for mula:

where:sóEasting, sNorth ing – mean er ror of the X and Y co or di nate, re -spec tively.

For the two ob ser va tion se ries con ducted in late 2013 forthe con trolled points, the re sult ing mean er rors were re cordedin the re port au to mat i cally gen er ated by the stan dard soft wareof the TM30 in stru ment.

A mean er ror of de ter min ing the po si tion of thegroup of the con trolled points in the range be tween 0.6 and1.3 mm was ob tained in the con ducted sur vey ing.

RE SULTS AND DIS CUS SION

As a re sult of the ERI prospection we ob tain two per pen -dic u lar re sis tiv ity sec tions of the scarp. The Fig ure 5 showsthe dis tri bu tion of the elec tri cal re sis tiv ity of the soil in thepar al lel sec tion to un der ground line, with clearly vis i blebound aries of ar eas with dif fer ent geoelectrical prop er ties.This ERI prospection sec tion was made in the line of ar chi valgeo log i cal cross-sec tion (Fig. 2). There fore, the con ti nu ity of shal low soil layer on the scarp could be an a lyzed. Based onar chi val sec tion the in ter pre ta tion of re sis tiv ity sec tions wasmade. There are two dis tin guish able com plexes along withthe un der ground tun nels:

– com plex I: it is lo cated across the whole scarp. In Fig ure

5 this com plex has re sis tiv ity be tween 120 Wm and 600 Wm,with an av er age thick ness in the elec tri cal re sis tiv ity cross-sec tion of approx. 3 m. Fol low ing a cor re la tion with the his -tor i cal data, the in ter preted soil was named as sand or clayeysand with el e vated hu mid ity (anthropogenic soil: made-ground);

– com plex II: un der ly ing firs com plex. It is min i mum6–7 m be low scarp sur face. In Fig ure 5 char ac ter ized by thefol low ing re sis tiv ity: 5 Wm–70 Wm. Such resistances in di -cate co he sive soils, like col lu vium sandy clay.

In ter pret ing per pen dic u lar sec tion to scarp ex ten sion itshould be noted that the geo phys i cal im age of the study areadoes not con tain loos en ing soil zones, which could in di cateslip sur face.

In the case of a cross-sec tion per pen dic u lar to the ex tent of the scarp (Fig. 7), the con ducted anal y ses pro vided a notclear im age. In this case, re sis tiv ity im age is dis torted, dueto the pres ence of metal el e ments, elec tri cal wires andempty space in side tun nels in the un der ground line. Thereliable in for ma tion is re lated to con fir ma tion of the vari a -tion of geo log i cal de pos its and pres ence of the un der ground tun nels in these cross-sec tions. The prob a ble in ter pre ta tionof this sec tion, based on ar chi val cross-sec tion (Fig. 2) ispre sented be low. In such prospection con di tion, ex act in ter -pre ta tion of soil types and con ti nu ity of com plex is pre -cluded.

Sur vey ing re sults

In or der to an a lyze the im pact of the un der ground con -struc tion, the his tor i cal re sults of mea sure ments made by theun der ground con trac tor were used be fore start ing the con -struc tion, dur ing its course and af ter its com ple tion. The mea -sure ments were also made fol low ing the con struc tion of theun der ground tun nels in or der to ver ify the re sults of the de ter -mi na tion of dis place ments, and they were added to the chartspre sented in Fig. 7. The chart show ing ver ti cal dis place mentof a sam ple con trolled point MP01 as a func tion of time(Fig. 7) clearly shows pe ri ods of sta bil ity of the re sults in ter -rupted by sud den in creases in the value of the dis place ments.The first in crease in dis place ment within the an a lyzed area is

caused by the pas sage of the cut ting shield of the TBM drill -ing the south ern tun nel be tween 24 Sep 2013 and 26 Sep2013. This change amounted to –13 mm. Af ter this pe riod,sta bi li za tion of the an a lyzed ob ject and of the dis place mentvalue was in ef fect un til the time of the pas sage of the sec ondTBM drill ing the north ern tun nel. The TBM was in the areaun der study be tween 01 Nov 2013 and 03 Nov 2013, whichled to an in crease in dis place ments up to –19 mm. The char -ac ter of the ob served ter rain dis place ments shows quasi-elas -tic be hav ior, which in hi bi tion is due to both the sched ule ofearth works, as well as, the de layed re ac tion of soil mas sive(Potts and Zdravkoviæ, 2001; Kuszyk and Siemiñska-Le-wandowska, 2009).

The ta ble be low de scribes the key mo ments in the prog -ress of the in vest ment and the changes in the XY po si tion ofthe MP01 point. It is worth not ing that the thresh old hor i zon -tal or ver ti cal dis place ment val ues adopted by the un der -ground con trac tor, ac cord ing to their observation, were15 mm for an alert state and 20 mm for an emer gency. Whenthese val ues were ap proached, con struc tion work was sus -pended and the changes in the dis place ment val ues were be -ing ob served. If there had been no neg a tive im pact on theen vi ron ment (e.g., frac tur ing), the emer gency val ues wouldhave been in creased by the un der ground de sign ers.

Fig ure 9 shows hor i zon tal dis place ments of one of thecon trolled points. The other points move in a sim i lar man ner.The pre sented chart shows cu mu la tive dis place ments be -tween the im por tant stages of the in vest ment. We can clearly

see the im pact of the pas sage of the first TBM on the mon i -tored sec tion of the scarp, as an in crease in dis place mentsamount ing to approx. 7 mm. The pas sage of the sec ond TBMwas fol lowed by a fur ther dis place ment of approx. 6 mm. The ob served dis place ments are di rected to wards the north-east.The last mea sure ments clearly show that the dis place mentsto wards the in cline of the scarp stopped.

Sum ma riz ing the re sults of the anal y ses, the ques tion re -gard ing the im pact of build ing the un der ground tun nels onthe War saw Scarp at Dynasy Street No. 6, called into ques -tion in the sub ject of the pa per, can be an swered as fol lows:the im pact is no tice able by pres ent de for ma tions of the scarp,al though small enough not to pose a threat to the sta bil ity and
