To prevent accidents caused by collapse and rockfall tunnel faces during construction, we considered vibration monitoring using a millimeter-wave (78-GHz band) DBF-based high-speed imaging radar. Basic performance tests were conducted in a radio anechoic room and test facility simulating an actual tunnel. It was confirmed that the accuracy of the 0.1-mm displacement-measurement, high-speed sampling of 0.001 s, and individual movements of several targets could be distinguished. Based on the basic test results, on-site measurements were performed at an actual tunnel construction site. The displacement and vibration changes of a tunnel face at the time of breakthrough can be captured; in addition, large velocity changes occur in a working face before breakthrough, and it might be possible to detect an abnormal tunnel face in advance. In addition, it was confirmed that the movement of the rockfall location was almost precisely captured even for small-scale flaking during the drilling of the working face, regardless of the condition in which a part of the measurement range became shadowed.
