Measurement Parameters

The GPR measurements were carried out with the SIR 20 from GSSI and a 2 GHz antenna pair (bandwidth 1 GHz to 3 GHz) in common-offset configuration. Each B-Scan consists of N A-Scans, each including 512 samples of a 11 ns time window. Survey lines were recorded with 250 A-Scans/ meter, which equals a 4 mm spacing between each A-Scan No Gains were applied. 

Folder Description:

Lab_dry, Lab_insulDamage, Lab_screedDamage- each contain 168 Measurements (B-Scans)  in .csv on 84 dry floors, floors with insulation damage and screed damage.- each floor setup was measured twice on two orthogonal survey lines, indicated by _Line1_ and _Line2_ in the file name.- the file names encode the building floor setup e.g. CT50XP100 describes a 50 mm cement screed with 100 mm extruded polystyrene below- the material codes are   CT: cement screed, CA: anhydrite screed, EP: expanded polystyrene, XP: extruded polystyrene, GW: glass wool, PS: perlites

further information can be found in the publication https://doi.org/10.3390/app11198820OnSite_- 5 folders containing B-Scans on 5 different practical moisture damages- the building floor setup is encoded according to the lab with an additional measurement point numbering at the start and a damage case annotation at the end of the file name with _dry, _insulationDamage and_screedDamageFile Description:

B-Scans, Measurement files - no header- dimension: 512 x N data point with N beeing the number of A-Scans including 512 samples of a 11 ns time window. - survey lines were recorded with 250 A-Scans/ meter, which equals a 4 mm spacing between each A-Scan

Moisture References- Moist_Reference of On-Site Locations include the columns MeasPoint: Measurement point, wt%Screed: moisture content of screed layer in mass percent; wt%Insul: moisture content of insulation layer in mass percent. References were obtained by drilling cores with 68 mm diameter in the center of each survey line.- Moist_Reference_Screed of Lab data include the columns Screed: Screed material and thickness in mm, wt%Screed moisture content of screed layer in mass percent- Moist Reference_Insul of Lab data include the columns Insulation: Insulation material and thickness in mm, water addition in l: water added to the insulation layer in liters, V%Insulation: water added to the insulation layer in volume percent, RH%: resulting relative humidy in the insulation layer during measurement. These References are only avaible for Lab measurements on insulation damages.
