Abstract
This paper contains the results of a continuing study to assess the capabilities and limitations of a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) system to detect and locate various subsurface anomalies — in this case, various size containers, both metal and non-metalic.This containers are located in various configurations at different burial depths. The site consisted of a relatively uniform sandy soil of low water content and represented nearly ideal conditions for the tests. The results show that steel drums are the most easily detected and located. Plastic drums, if empty, cannot be located; however, if liquid-filled they can be detected. Closely spaced drums cannot be resolved to determine the exact number of drums. Accurate depth predictions were made to all drums located using the GPR system.
