GPR to Prevent Landslide Due to River Erosion

摘要

A study of a river bank subject to erosion was performed using the geophysical method GPR.The study area is located along a stretch of 600 m,near the Guamá River in the area belonging to the Federal University of Pará (UFPA),Belém City,State of Pará (Brazilian Amazon).Measurements were taken at low tide and high tide to map the preferred underground openings for the entry of water brought by the tide.The results showed that the GPR can be a valuable tool for predicting landslide due to erosion.
