ABSTRACT

The results of theoretical and experimental research of the possibilities of subsurface radar probing with the aim of solving the problems of engineering and geological examinations - determination of the groundwater depth; defining the lithologic composition of the soils in the zone of aeration as well as the depth of occurrence and the thickness of oil product blanket formed as a result of various sort of man-caused leakages are provided. It is demonstrated that use of frequency-scanning radar is capable of successful solving of the above problems providing for a number of essential advantages compared to both traditional methods of geophysical researches and to the use of subsurface probing radars with pulse signals.
