Study on Impact of Various Void Conditions on Shallow Rectangular Masonry-Concrete Power Tunnel and Surrounding Roads by Gang Tian, Chunfeng Jin, Haijun Zhang, Hai Shi, Yanqing Du, Yanli Qi, Mingzhou Bai

“…To solve the problem of a potential void near a shallow rectangular masonry-concrete power tunnel, the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) detection technology is used and multiple GPR detection lines are placed to detect concealed void. The GPR images of circular and square voids are obtained, which can help increase accuracy of void identification. …”
