Georadar and its application in the diagnosis of transport infrastructure objects
Georadar and its application in the diagnosis of transport infrastructure objects
The research presented in the publication is mainly focused on two basic applications, namely the determination of the position of embedded reinforcement in concrete and the determination of layer thicknesses in roadways.
The book covers measurements in laboratory conditions and in situ, optimization of GPR apparatus settings, verification of new calibration methods and evaluation of measured data. The effect of the measurement speed on the achieved results was investigated, as well as ways to refine the localization (determining the position of the antenna during measurement).
