Abstract
A series of experimental work has been conducted to evaluate the capability of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system in detecting delamination inside concrete. Three antenna at 900 MHz, 1000 MHz, and 1500 MHz frequency are used in the experiments for laboratory size specimens, and 400 MHz antenna has been used for a large size specimen. The laboratory size specimens have the dimensions of 1,000 mm (length) ${\times}$ 600 mm (width) ${\times}$ 140 mm (thickness) with a delamination of 200 mm (length) ${\times}$ 600 mm (width) ${\times}$ 140 mm (thickness). The cover depth of the delamination is varied as follows: 20 mm, 30 mm, 60 mm, and 70 mm. In all cases, the delamination has been successfully identified. The property of three frequencies was seized about detecting delamination. Also, it was shown that the image results in GPR were improved by signal processing.
