Investigation of the Extended Use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for Measuring In-Situ Material Quality Characteristics

This project tests the application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) as a nondestructive tool for highway infrastructure assessment. Multiple antennas with different frequency ranges were used on a variety of highway infrastructure projects. This report highlights the pros and cons of using GPR on highway projects and what results may be anticipated for each application.
