ground penetrating radar (gpr) method as a high resolution non-destructive geophysical method is used for detection of shallow subsurface targets. this method is based on the transmission of electromagnetic waves inside the earth and recording the reflected waves from the subsurface. as the method uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the frequency ranges of 12.5 to 2500 mhz (called gpr ...

Structural degradation of road pavements has a considerable impact on traffic safety. Roadway surface defects or discontinuities make driving uncomfortable and increase chances of accidents. GPR is an effective and non-destructive technique to discover and trace the causes of road pavement damages so characterizing road integrity. The paper shows the findings of a GPR survey carried out on degr...

determination of the thickness of a mountains glacier like alamkooh is very difficult due to its extremely cold climate conditions and high elevation, risk of falling large snow segments or balls and coarse topography of the glacier. in this research, due to the transparency of ice for electromagnetic (em) waves, and also, that ground penetrating radar (gpr) method is non-destructive, fast and ...

The spatial representation of accumulation measurements is a major limitation for current glacier mass balance monitoring approaches. Here, we present a method for estimating annual accumulation rates on a temperate Alpine glacier based on the interpretation of internal reflection horizons (IRHs) in helicopter-borne ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data. For each individual GPR measurement, the s...

ground penetrating radar (gpr) is one of high resolution geophysical methods for locating missed objects, buried equipments. gpr is a nondestructive testing method that is useful in various kinds of explorations such as mapping the archaeological sites. the safety of the archaeological sites is one of the most concerns of the archaeologists. one of the best gpr applications is in archaeology as...

The failures of culverts can result in water and soil loss the surrounding subsurface, leading to collapses. In densely constructed urban areas, buried are inaccessible invisible, making Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) inspection a widely adopted nondestructive efficient method. Previous research has employed artificial intelligence automate GPR interpretation by identifying special radargram te...

ground penetration radar (gpr) as a nondestructive method for identifying underground objects has been successfully applied to different fields of science such as geotechnical investigations, oil and gas exploration, geology, pipe detection and archeology investigations. metallic and nonmetallic objects can be identified by this method.  the depth of penetration is dictated by the gpr antennas....

This paper compares and integrates different strategies to characterize the variability of end-of-winter snow depth and its relationship to topography in ice-wedge polygon tundra of Arctic Alaska. Snow depth was measured using in situ snow depth probes and estimated using groundpenetrating radar (GPR) surveys and the photogrammetric detection and ranging (phodar) technique with an unmanned aeri...
