D-29 SINGLE AND MULTI-FOLD GEORADAR DATA FOR GEOTECHNICAL PROBLEMS Abstract 1 L. ORLANDO and M. BERNABINI Dept. Idraulica Trasporti e Strade- Geophysical Area University of Rome ‘ La Sapienza’ Via Eudossiana 18 00184 Rome Italy The georadar method allows a detailed reconstruction of the surficial zone but as has been noted the efficiency of the method in the used frequency range (10-2 500 MHZ) is greatly dependent on the electromagnetic characteristics (conductivity dielectric constant etc.) of the rock surveyed. The major limitation of the method is the investigation depth even for rock masses of high resistivity (limestone travertine etc.) where
