Levees are civil engineering structures built to protect, human lives property and agricultural, lands during flood
events.? To keep these important structures in a safe condition continuous monitoring, must be performed regularly
and, thoroughly. Small rodent burrows are one of the major defects within levees; however their, early
.Detection and repair helps in protecting levees during flooding events. A set of laboratory experiments was conducted
to. Analyze the polarity change in GPR signals in the presence of subsurface voids and water-filled cavities.
Ground Penetrating. Radar (GPR) surveys using multi frequency antennas (400 MHz and 900 MHz) were conducted
along an 875 meter section of the. Lollie Levee, near Conway,, Arkansas USA to assess the levee 's structural
integrity. Many subsurface animal burrows water-filled cavities clay,,, Clasts and metallic, objects were investigated
and identified. These anomalies were located at different depths and have. Different sizes. To ground truth the
observations hand dug, trenches were excavated to confirm several anomalies. Results. Show an excellent match
.Between GPR interpreted anomalies and the observed features. In-situ dielectric constant measurements were
used to calculate. The feature depths. The results of this research show that the 900 MHz antenna has more advantages
over the 400 MHz antenna.
