This paper presents some aspects of the time propagation of underground water leakage in controlled laboratory conditions using a drilled polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and interpreting ground penetrating radar (GPR) images. ...
[EN] In this paper, a ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used as a non-destructive
method to assess the buried elements of water supply systems (WSSs). The aim
is the detection of various pipe materials (such as plastic ...
