Values of conductivity, relative permittivity, and approximate velocity. (Schultz (2002), Milsom, (2003), Davis and Annan, (1998), and Conyers, (2004)) (After Burger, H. R., 2006).
Equation used to determine the depth, d, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum, is the probably one permeability, and is the relative permittivity.
300 cm GPR Antenna z x 250 cm Dry Sand (r =5, σ =10-5 S/m) (r = 30, σ = 10-3 S/m) (r = 19, σ = 0.021 S/m) Saturated Sand/Clay Limestone (r = 7, σ = 10-9 S/m) The model schematic diagram that is used in synthetic simulation of the GPR data. For model 1, the middle layer is saturated sand and it is saturated clay for model 2. r is permittivity and σ is conductivity y
The top diagram represents the signal for model 1 (the second layer is saturated sand). The bottom diagram is the signal for model 2 (the second layer is saturated clay). The 1st arrow points at the reflection from dry sand-saturated sand (saturated clay for model 2) discontinuity. The 2nd arrow points at the reflection from the saturated sand (saturated clay for model 2)–limestone discontinuity. The 3rd arrow points at the reflection from the bottom of the model
Schematic diagram of the model geometry used to simulate GPR data to model two-limestone block
The diagram represents the signal for model 1. The 1st arrow in this waveform points at the onset time of the reflections from the dry sand-the first limestone block discontinuity, and the 2nd arrow points at the onset of the reflections from the second limestone block-dry sand discontinuity. The 3rd arrow indicates the arrival of reflection from the bottom of the model
Schematic diagram of the model geometry used to simulate GPR data to model vertical and reverse faults
The diagram represents the signal for 2nd and 3rd models. The 1st arrow in these two waveforms points at the onset time of the reflections from the dry sand-the first limestone half block discontinuities, and the 2nd arrow points at the onset of the reflections from dry sand-the second limestone half block discontinuity. The 3rd arrow indicates the arrival of reflection from the bottom of the model

Detection of cavity under Hot Mix Asphalt pavement (top left image). Top right image shows the survey profiles (arrows). 3D GPR image before the cavity excavation (top block) and after the excavation (middle block). Contact between the aggregate and the soil is shown as black line (top block). Blue line in the lower block represents the reflections from the contact between the HMA and the aggregates
Conclusions • Computer based simulations and controlled laboratory experimentation show that GPR can map variation in lithology and structural setting.
