Abstract

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been used to image inside concrete specimens embedded with steel bars and delamination. An imaging algorithm has been developed to improve measurement output generated from a commercial radar system. For the experiments, laboratory size concrete specimens are made with the dimensions of $1,000mm(W){\times}1,000mm(L){\times}250mm(D)$. The results have shown improved output of the radar measurements compared to commercially available processing methods.
