Can GPR Concrete Scanning Determine Rebar Diameter?

Most concrete scanners in the civil engineering and construction industries use GPR to locate reinforcements or conduits embedded in concrete. However, this mapping technique is capable of gathering so much more information about this infrastructure. In this video I review two methods that can be used to evaluate rebar diameter. This is an important application for structural engineering purposes because there is a direct effect on stability based on rebar size.

Another example of how you can use GPR to gain more information about concrete and rebar can be found in our video about corrosion. Check it out here: http://learngpr.com/can-ground-penetr...
