Abstract

The synthetic GPR modelling studies are quite important to evaluate the interpretation of shallow geological properties such as faulting, bedding, weathering etc. This study aims to simulate some shallow geological structures by GPR technique. To obtain a successful interpretation, we performed the synthetic modelling studies for paleoseismology, sedimentary and geotechnical problems using different values of electrical properties that affect the radar signals. During the modeling studies, we produced a lot of models for various subsurface conditions. Also, real GPR data was collected on some geological problems. As a result, the combined usage of the real GPR data and synthetic modelling could be contributed the joint interpretation on shallow geological structures. © 2009 IEEE.
