Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a safe, advanced, non-destructive and noninvasive imaging technique for the inspection of composite structures and diagnostics affecting the whole life-cycle of civil engineering works. The course will introduce the main electromagnetic techniques useful for the modeling of complex GPR scenarios, for a better understanding of GPR measuremtens. The main applications of GPR in the frame of Civil Engineering will be focused, as the inspection of roads, bridges, as well as buildings\u2019 survey. Operational principles of GPR will be shown, with a focus to inverse scattering and imaging techniques, as well as through a visit to a GPR training Laboratory. An original study or design contribution will be proposed to trainees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
