Abstract:
The fourth chapter presents the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technique. It begins with an overview of the fundamental principles of electromagnetic theory on which GPR measurements are based, along with a discussion of the electromagnetic properties of materials that affect the received signal. The chapter then describes the basic components of a GPR system, as well as the different types of scanning depending on the desired outcome (i.e., two-dimensional or three-dimensional visualization of the target under investigation). The theoretical foundation of the method concludes with the presentation of some key signal processing techniques. Finally, the chapter ends with the presentation of GPR applications for the three-dimensional imaging of internal reinforcement in concrete structures and the detection of internal defects within their structural elements.
