Waste Disposal Sites Evaluation by Means of GPR

M-06 WASTE DISPOSAL SITES EVALUATION BY MEANS OF GPR M. PIPAN 1 E. FORTE 1 F. GUANGYOU 1 2 3 and I. FINETTI 1 Abstract 1 We focus on the application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to study waste dumps and obtain information about volume and physical properties of waste soil contaminated by seepage from waste and underlying bedrock/soil. GPR data acquisition is performed using three different paradigms: common offset (single-fold SF) multi-offset (linear multi-fold LMF) and multi-azimuth (azimuthal multi-fold AMF). Data processing is performed using a novel algorithm based on the Wavelet Transform to calculate the instantaneous parameters of
