Abstract:Land in coal minedout area has become an important resource for sustainable development. Detection in shallow coal minedout area is becoming increasingly important in urban planning. In this paper, by using the large fixed source loop device transient electromagnetic sounding method, shallow coal minedout area has been explored. Combining with specific project, reasonable construction parameters are selected, and the field collected data are processed and mapped. The location of coal minedout is determined by disturbance of apparent resistivity isoline, and the result of interpretation is consistent with relevant geological data and strata exposed by borehole. It is proved that the transient electromagnetic sounding method with large fixed source return line device has obvious effect in the detection of shallow coal mine goaf, and has a wide application prospect in other shallow goaf exploration.
