During road construction investments, the key issue affecting the structure’s safety is accurate subsoil recognition. Identifying subsoil variability zones or natural voids can be performed using geophysical methods, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is recommended for this task as it identifies the location and spatial range karst formations. This paper describes the methodology of acquisition and processing of GPR data for ground recognition for road investment. Additional subsoil research was performed after karst phenomena were identified in the investment area, formations not revealed by geological recognition from earlier studies during the pre-design stage. Mala Ramac CU II radar with a 250 MHz antenna and a Leica DS2000 with 250 and 700 MHz antennas with real-time geopositioning were used to obtain the data. Regarding GPR data postprocessing, we present a method of converting spatial visualization into a point cloud that allows for GPR and geodetic data integration and confrontation. This approach enabled us to determine the locations of control trenches, the results of which were used for material validation, which is necessary to improve the reliability of subsoil recognition. The results showed a high correlation between the recorded GPR signals and the subsoil structure. Additionally, differences in the quality of results for measurements conducted before laying supporting layers with slag and on the completed road structure surface are illustrated.

Wilayah Aceh merupakan wilayah yang sering terjadi gempa bumi dengan skala besar. Salah satu gempa bumi dengan skala besar adalah Gempa Pidie Jaya yang terjadi pada 7 Desember 2016. Setelah terjadi gempa bumi, banyak terjadi pergerakan tanah yang ditemukan di area penelitian. Telah dilakukan serangkaian pengukuran menggunakan Ground Penetrating Radar (80 MHz) untuk mempelajari struktur bawah permukaan setelah terjadinya gempa bumi. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Pangwa, Kecamatan Trienggadeng, Kabupaten Pidie Jaya. Pengukuran dilakukan di sepanjang jalan di Desa Pangwa yang melintasi dua jembatan. Pengukuran dilakukan pada 18 lintasan dengan panjang masing–masing lintasan sepanjang 50 m. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan software GRED. Berdasarkan hasil radargram, kita menemukan struktur pemukaan dangkal berupa patahan di tengah gambaran radargram pada lintasan 13 yang disebabkan oleh terjadinya gempa di Pidie Jaya. The Aceh region is an area of frequent large-scale earthquakes. One of the earthquakes with a large scale is Pidie Jaya Earthquake that occurred on December 7, 2016. After the earthquake, many ground movement evidences were found in the area. The ground penetrating radar (80 MHz) measurement is used to study subsurface structures after the earthquake. This research was conducted in Pangwa Village, Trienggadeng Subdistrict, Pidie Jaya District. Measurements were carried out along the road in Pangwa Village which crossed two bridges. Data measurements were made along 18 profiles with 50 m length of each profile. Data processing were done by using GRED software. Based on processed radargrams, we found a fault trace at the middle of the profile lane 13 caused by the newest earthquake in Pidie Jaya. Keywords: Ground Penetrating Radar, Subsurface structure, electromagnetic wave velocity

Within the road investments the very important element determining repeatedly the success of the whole project is an adequate information about the characteristics of the site, its load capacity, stability and the possible impact of geological characteristics that may interfere with subsequent service life, not only for the road surface itself, but also for the surrounded objects. The surface is incessantly influenced by geological characteristics, determining its durability and functional usefulness. The main aim of this paper is to answer the question how by the usage of modern technics for obtaining data it is possible to find a link confirming the characteristics of land on which the specific road projects are supposed to be carried out, or where these projects have already been accomplished, concerning their requirements with high accuracy of location and also the stability and durability of the ground. This article makes also an attempt to answer not only the question how to identify the construction of road surface, but also how to locate underground cavities, created or influenced by the flow of water, or due to geological structures characterized as an inconsistent ground. The results were supported with geophysical researches using GPR method, and also data collected with laser scanners.

Abstract The aim of this work is to study and explore the causes of the landslide in different locations using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology. GPR uses the electromagnetic method related the high-frequency pulse that used widely in various field. The experimental study focused on the investigation of the landslide in the road by GPR method with antenna 200 MHz. The landslides become serious problems and required various technique and methods to investigate it in several places. GPR measurements present a useful technique for studies and investigation of the problem. The GPR can be categorized in the first place as an experimental method surveys landslide depths were recognized at 1-10 m below the natural terrain level. The results obtained revealed the causes of landslides on the road.

Highway engineering quality is the lifeline of highway. Ground-penetrating radar is a new nondestructive testing technology of the road quality detection. This thesis takes advantage of ground-penetrating radar to analyze and discuss several related factors on highway nondestructive testing, for instance, the water content and compact degree of the base course, identification of cavity beneath the rigid pavement, and the differential settlement of the base course beneath the flexible pavement. Results of this research provide an excellent detection method for engineers and technicians.
