Using GPR for detecting anomalies in embankments

Application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for investigation of anomalies in embankment is discussed in this paper. Short overview of factors which cause embankment instability is given (such as soil parameters of embankment and foundation soil, water effect, man-made structures and biological factors), as well as GPR theoretical background. GPR was proven as reliable, non- invasive, tool for detection of embankment voids, surface cracks, shallow and deep cavities, inhomogeneities etc. Some successful case studies of GPR application on embankments are also presented.
