Abstract

The information of the type of structure, materials and thickness of different layers, that constitute a transport infrastructure, particularly the airfields, is essential for the assessment of its bearing capacity and to detect distresses. In this context, the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is particularly useful, as it provides information on a continuous way, and is possible to register this information in digital BIM models. This paper presents 3D digital model of the infrastructure that allows for a better visualization of the variations of the thicknesses and can be used to add other monitoring information, such as load tests or structural characteristics, to support the pavement management system. Recommendations are presented and future perspectives are also herein referred.
