At radar frequencies below 2 GHz, the mismatch between the 5 to 15 cm sensing depth of classical time domain reflectometry (TDR) probe soil moisture measurements and the radar penetration depth can easily lead to unreliable in situ data. Accurate quantitative measurements of soil water contents at various depths by classical methods are cumbersome and usually highly invasive. We propose an impr...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has recently gained a wide acceptance in the archaeological community as a method to quickly and accurately locate buried archaeological features, artifacts, and important cultural and geological strata in the near-surface. The GPR method has now become one of the primary tools for geophysical feature identification primarily because of its three-dimensional abili...

Behram Pasha Mosque is one of the historical mosques, which work Mimar Sinan [1], located in southwest Diyarbakır’s Suriçi Region. Georadar (GPR) method geophysical applications possible gaps, fractures, collapses, etc. damages are determined non-destructively on walls and floors buildings. Therefore, historic mosques Diyarbakir Mosque, expert engineers carried out GPR scanning grounds without ...

the subsoil and groundwater were suspected to be polluted by leakage from underground tanks around the oil storage facility in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India. to delineate the seepage zone, integrated geophysical methods comprising Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and 2D electrical Resistivity Imaging (eRI) methods were employed over the suspected zone and in the close vicinity. the studies were condu...

This paper presents a comparative review study on ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna technology for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications. The proposed antenna designs for UWB ground penetrating radar include a bow-tie antennas, Vivaldi antennas, horn antennas, planar antennas, tapered slot antennas, dipole antennas, and spiral antennas. Furthermore a comprehensive study in terms of operating f...

We are investigating the radar as a non-destructive technique to detect early-stage flaws and reinforcement in concrete structures. In this paper, we simulate the groundpenetrating radar (GPR) assessment of concrete structures using three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The discussion focuses on the evaluation of the performance of GPR in assessing dispersive and heteroge...

This paper reports the results of integrated geophysical surveys performed inside Monastery St Chiara in Nardó southern Italy. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) investigations were carried out to find tomb Sister D’Amato, whose location has been lost over centuries. Isabella D'Amato was a charismatic holy figure. She died 1693. buried monastery but her b...

Ž . Ž A ground-penetrating radar GPR survey, using mostly a 500 MHz antenna, was carried out in an urban area Lecce, . Italy to obtain a detailed characterization of the most superficial layers, where presumably archaeological structures are buried, and to quickly identify anomalous zones for excavation. In the area, the presence of remnants of a historical Ž . Ž . Franciscan friary built in 14...
