GPR through a Water Mirror Defining the Topography of a Bottom and the Depth of the Sediments beneath the Water Layer

Decline in economic activity in the field of investment planning and construction in the Republic of Bulgaria requires designers and builders to consider the impact of suspension of construction from an economic and engineering point of view. At what stage losses can be minimized and until what point will the suspended construction not lead to an emergency situation, both in terms of the building and the neighbors? Investment interests of a new owner require the study of the earth foundation beneath the water aggregated in the excavation. The possibility for drainage and the amount of additional measures necessary for the fortification of the dip depend on the power of the sediment layer. Last but not least, the fortification of the base determines the safety of the future building related to earthquake impact and subsidence deformations. This experiment is a pioneer georadar study through a water mirror for the purposes of construction activities in Bulgaria.
