Ground Penetrating Radar for Fractured Rocks

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive geophysical technique that is used to analyze soils, rocks and structures by providing continuous images of the interior media, being analyzed. The GPR signals can be easily corrupted by noise and the noise collected by the system can easily mask relatively weak reflections caused by small sized inhomogeneities. The profiles gathered by 25MHz RTA antenna are processed with Ground-Vision and RadExplorer software routines such as DC-removal and Amplitude correction. In this paper we present the results of an application of GPR method for localizing the orientation of joints, massive blocks, structural discontinuities and mapping the localities of high-quality granite.
