Design and Construction of Ground Penetrating Radar Testbed

Project Description

Ground penetrating radars are used for subsurface exploration purposes, and for locating underground utilities. CEE department has multiple-size radars ready to be used for research. This project is about designing and building a controlled earth fill with known objects at known depths to be used as a test bed for research purposes. The testbed is a v shape ditch of 50 feet long and approximately 5 feet deep and located at the KSU Field Station. Basic training on using ground penetrating radars will be given. The project will involve a literature survey, design, and construction activities such as filling and compacting the soil.
