Ground Penetrating Radar: Fundamentals, Applications, and Case Studies

This book presents a clear and practical overview of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) as a non-destructive method for subsurface investigation. It explains the fundamental principles of electromagnetic wave propagation, material dielectric properties, and radar signal behaviour that control GPR performance. The book emphasises survey design, data acquisition, processing, anomaly identification, and visualisation, closely reflecting real field practices.Through representative applications and case studies, it demonstrates the use of GPR in civil and geotechnical engineering, groundwater and leakage detection, environmental studies, archaeology, and underground utility mapping. Limitations, accuracy considerations, and emerging trends in intelligent processing and integrated surveys are also discussed, making the book a useful reference for students, researchers, and professionals.
