Nondestructive examination to first lining of tunnel is a fast accuracy effective method and an important part of tunnel construction. Although the ground penetrating rader(GPR) has been used for a long time in tunnel detection
the operators are scarce of enough experience so that they are unable to judge and analyze the collected pictures exactly.The principles and judgment of GPR are introduced systematically as an example of first lining detection of road tunnel of Shandong Expreessway
such as cavity
non-compact
lining thickness
distance of steel wed and steel arc. It is important to give experiences and references for operators of GPR.
