This book, based on Transport and Urban Development COST Action
TU1208, presents the most advanced applications of ground
penetrating radar (GPR) in a civil engineering context, with
documentation of instrumentation, methods and results. It explains
clearly how GPR can be employed for the surveying of critical
transport infrastructure, such as roads, pavements, bridges and
tunnels and for the sensing and mapping of underground utilities
and voids. Detailed attention is also devoted to use of GPR in the
inspection of geological structures and of construction materials
and structures, including reinforced concrete, steel reinforcing
bars and pre/post-tensioned stressing ducts. Advanced methods for
solution of electromagnetic scattering problems and new data
processing techniques are also presented. Readers will come to
appreciate that GPR is a safe, advanced, non destructive and
noninvasive imaging technique that can be effectively used for the
inspection of composite structures and the performance of
diagnostics relevant to the entire life cycle of civil engineering
works.
