Summary<br />

The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and the Geological Survey of Bangladesh have<br />

carried out a Ground Penetrating Radar (<strong>GPR</strong>) Survey along a River <strong>dyke</strong> in Dhaka<br />

Bangladesh. The purpose of this survey was to build-up capacity at <strong>GSB</strong> in using advanced<br />

technologies <strong>for</strong> sub-surface geotechnical investigations.<br />

Two different types of (<strong>GPR</strong>) antennas were used to demonstrate the capacity of detecting<br />

sub-surface materials. It was demonstrated that <strong>GPR</strong> can serve as a quick and non<br />

destructive method of testing that can be readily used in Bangladesh <strong>for</strong> detecting subsurface<br />

structures such as weak spots in <strong>dyke</strong>s or rebars in concrete.
