Imaging of Internal Structure in Landing Fields of Planes at Erzincan Airport (Turkey) with GPR Method

At this investigation, it is aimed to display the internal structure including intensely landing points of planes (observed fracture, joint and deformation from surface) at Erzincan Airport with the ground penetrating radar (GPR) method. To view whether the observed deterioration at the surface continues under the landing field horizontally and vertically or not, at the observed fracture-joints part of study area GPR data were collected by using 800 MHz center frequency antenna at 20 lines. Measuring range was selected 1 m and the lines were selected 18 m long to parallel each other. After applying the standard data processing steps to obtained data, 2D and 3D views were determined. When these views analyzed; generally high quality landing space conditions are monitored, there are attenuation parts of electromagnetic waves locally and especially observed joints at 2.7 and 15 meters from surface was determined to continue at horizontal and vertical extension of the acquired GPR views. It was suggested to carry out maintenance to relevant institution.
