Timber girder inspection using ground penetrating radar
This paper describes a trial application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) techniques to locate defects in timber girders. Of the techniques trialled, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was found to be the most reliable method of locating internal defects such as piping and rot. Overall there was an excellent correlation between the GPR defect predictions, test drilling and inspection after cutting up of girders. In use the system was quick, lightweight, mobile, safe for personnel and well suited to field conditions. Interpretation and post-processing of the GPR data was sometimes complicated and required experienced personnel. The results of this trial on timber girders have been promising, and have demonstrated that GPR has a number of significant advantages over existing timber girder inspection methods.
