Application of Ground-Penetrating Radar on Geophysical Prospecting for the Building Foundation in Karstic Region

Abstract:

This paper briefly introduces the principle and method of GPR, as well as the related manual during the application process. Then a case in karstic region is presented. This paper is aimed at giving some guidance to the application of GPR on geophysical prospecting for the building foundation in karstic region.
