Experience in Using GPR to Study New Frozen-Ground Formations in Subgrade Structures

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The experience gained in using ground-penetrating radar to study the frozen subgrade of foundations in the city of Anadyr in the Chukotka Autonomous Region is analyzed. An algorithm for performing geophysical investigations is presented and a standard, typical, geological-geophysical sectional profile is composed. The identification of newly formed layers of frozen ground (NFG) within the boundaries of populated points is substantiated. The particularities of NFG in brownfield construction zones are examined.
