Comparison study on soil investigation between ground penetrating radar and boring method / Mohamad Azrah Salimi

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is the new technologies that used in utility survey. The purposes of this work are to study the credibility Ground Penetrating Radar Signal before determine type of soil composition include making comparison data between GPR survey and boring method. Basically, the data collection must prove by samples because to obtain the quality the data soil investigation. Next, the function of soil investigation the surface and subsurface information data at site area. Thus, the objectives of this study are to: 1) to investigate the type of soil using ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology and to analyses the accuracy of data soil between Ground Penetrating Radar and Boring Method. The study is carried out at Naka, 06400 Pokok Sena, Kedah. There are four (4) phase of methodology which is phase one: preliminary study, phase two: data acquisition, phase three: data processing and phase four: result and analyses. The selection of this method is decided after consider the all factor especially related to soil investigation. In the end of this study, the data soil investigation will be the produced and compare with boring method.
