Abstract

We have conducted GPR survey at a site which was partly excavated and filled with highly contaminated soils. The electrical properties and TPH concentration of the core samples were measured in the laboratory. It is verified that an inverse relation between TPH concentration and relative dielectric constant, and a direct proportional correlation between TPH concentration and electrical resistivity. LNAPL contamination area is illustrated by GPR data which shows the decreased radar signal amplitude.
