Abstract
Leakage in the diaphragm wall is difficult to detect in deep foundation pits. In this study, the conceptual model of active and passive thermal leak detection methods was proposed according to the occurrence of temperature field anomalies caused by seepage. Experiments were performed using a heating system and an optical fiber temperature measurement system to verify the thermal leakage detection systems. Numerical simulations were performed to understand the mechanism of the detecting method. Results indicated that the optical cable could detect the low-temperature anomaly in the active temperature field leak detection. The arrangement method of the leakage detection system was also presented in actual engineering.
