Cracking of concrete structures such as highway bridges is commonly observed in the U.S. and around the world, which can be attributed to one or many damage mechanisms. The inability of visual inspection for determining crack depth has a detrimental effect on its reliability. With the use of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques such as microwave and radar sensors, subsurface sensing can be achieved in concrete structures. The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of a commercially available ground penetrating radar (GPR) sensor on artificially-cracked concrete panels in the laboratory and real concrete structures with cracks in the field. Three artificially-cracked concrete panels (30x30x4 cm³) with different crack dimensions were manufactured with one pristine concrete panel without any crack as the control sample. Three different crack dimensions were introduced in concrete panels, including panel CNC with a 10x0.5x0.5 cm³ crack, panel CNCD with a 10x0.5x1.5 cm³ crack, panel CNCW with a 10x2x0.5 cm³ crack. An L-band GPR sensor (carrier frequency = 1.6GHz) was used in all experimental measurements. From our result, it was found that the use of a 1.6GHz GPR sensor can detect the presence of an artificial crack, as well as detecting crack dimensions (e.g., width, depth). Empirical models were developed from the B-scan GPR images for crack quantification
