Innovative inspection procedures for effective GPR surveying of critical transport infrastructures (pavements, bridges and tunnels)

This project is in line with the interests of one of the four working groups’ activities within the COST Action project—TU1208. The project concerns diagnostics of transport infrastructure structures—pavements, bridges and tunnels—by ground penetrating radar (GPR). It includes individual applications which are currently in use and those which are still in the phase of research and verification. Furthermore, it introduces issues which need to be dealt with, so that this NDT method can be applied to a greater extent in this area.
