Ground Penetrating Radar Investigations on the Relationship between Horizontal Sub-wavelength ‘Thin-layer’ Bedrock Fractures and Reflection Amplitudes

Several theoretical equations that predict sub-wavelength ‘thin-layer’ reflection amplitudes are compared to the results of a series of controlled ground penetrating radar surveys using 1 GHz transducers over a physical model of a horizontal bedrock fracture. Two large plastic (UHMW-PE) blocks, sepa...
