The Application of LTD-2100 GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) in Inspection of Concrete Structures

Abstract:

At present, a large-scale construction of concrete structure sprout up all over china, it is imperative to inspect the concrete carefully, efficiently and accurately with portable monitoring tools as speedy bulk construction required. This paper sets out by analyzing LTD-2100 radar diagnosis waveform in concrete structure safety, and then compares the interpretation of waveform with sampling concrete examination. Eventually, the consistent result reflects the non-destructive detection method of this radar has high value, for its high resolution examination, accurate positioning defects with high efficiency and easily operates which could benefit to engineers from real-time monitoring of concrete structure quality.
