These menus are based on a series of case studies conducted in Texas. They illustrate the influence of subsurface defects, unusual materials, and construction quality control problems on GPR signals.
Subsurface drainage features are routinely incorporated in the design of pavement systems as they are believed to increase pavement service life provi...
