The public discussion of a master’s student (Ziad Najih Abdul Hamid), Department of Applied Geology - College of Science - University of Anbar, took place on Wednesday 9/11/2022 at Jaber Bin Hayyan Hall in the College of Science about his thesis tagged:

  ((Engineering applications of the Ground Penetrating Radar method in Fallujah city))

The study aim to Investigation of the possibility of applying GPR to detect weak areas and voids in shallow depths in Fallujah city.

Detecting the weakness areas represented by the fragility of the soil and shallow groundwater that affect the foundations of civil buildings in the city.

The results of this investigation show that the best detecting depths for 250 MHz and 500 MHz antennas are, respectively, 2 m and 4 m. In addition, the shallow groundwater is the main reason for the rapid attenuation of radar pulses.

It has been demonstrated that GPR is a very easy-to-use technique for identifying buried bodies, weak zones, and soil subsidence.
