GPR determination of electrical and physical properties of motor road and railway structural layers
Abstract
GPR determination of electrical and physical properties of motor road and railway structural layers
Incoming article date: 25.09.2013The paper studies the possibility of quantitative processing of the GPR data for determining the dielectric permittivity and conductivity of a medium (soil samples). Experimental studies are made using radargrams of soil samples with specified values of moisture and conductivity. New methods of quantitative processing of radargrams are proposed in this work to determine the dielectric permittivity and conductivity of soils. The methods were successfully tested on various sections of Russian railways net.
