2. Auscultation of civil engineering structures

2.1 RADAR technology

RADAR (or ground-penetrating RADAR, GPR) is one of the most versatile, non-destructive, non-contact, high-throughput monitoring techniques, whose main application is geometric information, in the form of internal heterogeneity location or thickness measurement of materials or structural elements. . The main advantage of this technique is that it enables monitoring to be carried out directly from the surface of materials and structures, without the need for any special equipment. However, metrological performance depends on the characteristics of the propagation medium, the...
