Application of Ground Penetrating Radar in civil engineering (GPR)
GPR Program 2018
OBJECTIVE
Introduction
Introduction to fundamentals of GPR operation
OBJECTIVE
Problem analysis
Problem analysis and selection of an appropriate antenna
OBJECTIVE
Independent survey
Independent survey of the structural element using GPR
OBJECTIVE
Detection
Detection of the location of underground installations
OBJECTIVE
Locating damage
Locating damage on the carriageway and the pavement structure
OBJECTIVE
Analysis
Analysis and interpretation of GPR surveys
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Provided a successful completion of the summer school, the participants will be able to:
1.
Select an appropriate antenna
2.
Figure out the limitations of use
3.
Carry out GPR surveying
4.
Analyse the surveys
5.
Interpret survey results
Tentative content
The participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of GPR operation. Through illustrative examples of GPR use, the participants will be introduced with the properties of various antenna types using different frequency range.
Through practical activities, the participants will learn not only how to use the radar, but also analyse and interpret its surveys.
