Ground Penetrating Radar

Determination of pavement layer thickness is one of the more successful applications of GPR. For data collection at normal highway speeds, an air coupled antenna is attached to a vehicle, with a penetration depth of approximately 30 in. Experience has shown that GPR works well on flexible pavements (asphalt) where there is a strong dielectric contrast between layers, but may be less effective ...
