High resolution GPR applied to the “Capela Pombo”

Abstract

In this work was applied electromagnetic method (GPR), to identify surface layers in a speci c urban environment. The measurements were performed to map the surface layers and artifacts that make up the study area "Capela de Nosso Senhor dos Passos - a Capela Pombo" in the Barrio of Campina-Bel em.

The results of the GPR measurements were encouraging, since the method presented response of approximately 1.80 meters deep, one can identify anomalies control for the reasons as presented Chapel, and present possible anomalies related to structural foreign bodies.
