| Zusammenfassung |
| GPR techniques and technologies have been subject of intense research activities at the
Italian level in the last 15 years because of their potential applications specifically to civil
engineering. More in detail, several innovative approaches and models have been developed
to inspect road pavements to measure the thickness of their layers as well as to diagnose or
prevent damage. Moreover, new frontiers in bridge inspection as well as in geotechnical
applications such as slides and flows have been investigated using GPR. From the
methodological viewpoint, innovative techniques have been developed to solve GPR
forward-scattering problems, as well to locate and classify subsurface targets in real-time and
to retrieve their properties through multi-resolution strategies, and linear and non-linear
methodologies. Furthermore, the application of GPR and other non-destructive testing
methods in archaeological prospecting, cultural heritage diagnostics, and in the
localization and detection of vital signs of trapped people has been widely investigated.
More recently, new theoretical and empirical paradigms regarding water moisture
evaluation in various porous media and soil characterization have been published
as the results of long terms research activities. Pioneer studies are also currently
under development with the scope to correlate GPR measurement with mechanical
characteristics of bound and unbound construction materials. In such a framework,
this abstract will be aimed at reviewing some of the most recent advances of GPR
techniques and technologies within the Italian industrial and academic communities
[also including their application within international projects such as FP7 ISTIMES
(http://www.istimes.eu)], and at envisaging some of the most promising research trends
currently under development.
