            Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a remote geophysical sensing method that has been applied in the localization of underground utilities, bridge deck survey, localization of landmines, mapping of terrain for aid in driverless cars, etc. Multistatic GPR can deliver a faster survey, wider spatial coverage, and multiple viewpoints of the subsurface. However, because of the transmit and receive antennas spatial offset, formation of 3D GPR image by simple stacking of the acquired A-scans is inaccurate. Also, averaging of different receivers data may lead to destructive interference of back-scattered waves due to different time delays implied by the spatial offset, so averaging does not lead to higher SNR in general. Furthermore, the energy back-scattered by scatter points are spread in hyperbolas in the GPR raw data. Migration or imaging algorithms are employed to increase SNR by focusing the hyperbolas. This focusing process also leads to better accuracy in target localization. In this paper, a computationally efficient synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging algorithm that properly integrates multistatic GPR data in both ground and air-coupled cases is presented. The algorithm is successfully applied on two synthetic datasets.more » « less

            3-D printing is a disruptive technology that can have enormous social and economic impacts in years to come. The technology, which took shape in the 1980's and was initially limited to manufacturing small products, is moving to large scale construction applications, utilizing concrete and other cementitious and binder materials. This paper presents a state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of 3-D printing of concrete including a historical background and advances in equipment, materials, and computer modeling. Some demonstration projects are presented and opportunities and challenges associated with 3-D printing of concrete are identified. Formulation of ink utilizing local and in-situ materials is a major challenge and will continue to develop. Developments will also continue on large scale construction 3-D printers. The paper should be of value to both the seasoned researchers and beginners in 3-D printing, and also to those working on transitioning 3-D printing in construction from research to practice.more » « less
