| Abstract |
Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is a powerful tool with a wide range of applications in the nondestructive testing of concrete. It's useful for the detection of different materials embedded in a concrete, nondestructively. The purpose of this study is to detect a reinforced bar and PVC pipe embedded inside concrete and to determine the different depth using Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR). Concrete specimens used for this study has a 10mm diameter steel bar, 80mm diameter PVC pipe, and 100∼200mm depth and it's dimensions are 1000mm(L)×1000mm(W)×200mm(D) and 1200mm(L)×1200mm(W)×200mm(D). The advantages and limitations of Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) in these applications for concrete are also discussed. |
