The application of inverse scattering techniques with ground penetrating radar to the problem of rebar location in concrete

GPR Raw-Data Order Statistic Filtering and Split-Spectrum Processing to Detect Moisture

“…However, if the position of these features are unknown, this becomes a difficult task. As has been seen in previous literature, GPR has been used to identify the position of these supports [8,42]. This paper illustrates, however, that the presence of moisture has a negative impact on the ability of GPR to accurately map the support.…”

GPR evaluation of the damage found in the reinforced concrete base of a block of flats: A case study

“…[8][9][10]); the location of reinforcing bars and metal elements in concrete bases or structures (e.g. [11][12][13][14]); and characterisation of different constructive materials (e.g. [15]).…”

Early-stage leaking pipes GPR monitoring via microwave tomographic inversion

“…Usually, in application of microwave tomographic approaches to GPR surveys (Catapano et al, 2006;Soldovieri et al, 2006Soldovieri et al, , 2007a the reference scenario consists of two homogeneous half-spaces (air and soil) separated by a planar interface. In such a model, the upper one is free space, whilst the lower half-space is a homogeneous lossy dielectric with relative dielectric permittivity ε b and electrical conductivity σ b .…”
