دراسة استخدام رادار الاختراق الارضي (GPR) في الكشف عن مكونات وعيوب الجدران.

Abstract

A study on the possibility of using ground penetrating radar to detect the components and cracks of the walls was conducted using a (1 GHz) antenna which has the shortest available wavelength, making it suitable for working conditions. Several surveys were done on the surface of the wall of ancient minaret from both inside and outside surfaces. This minaret has previously been maintained by a specialized company. Many holes drilled longitudinally through the minaret wall and crammed inside iron bars were detected. Also some cracks were detected in the wall in various depths and directions.
