Soil Formation Lithological Profiling Using Ground Penetrating Radar

Abstract

The paper presents a modified technique for generation of the high-contrast sub-horizontally layered earth depth sections which is based on the common offset and common midpoint GPR methods. The iterative algorithm for fitting and correction of the reflection and refraction time-distance curves, as well as identification of the basic layer parameters, is suggested. Some results of the technique's implementation on railroads and highways in the Russian Far East are summarized.
