Application of ground-based InSAR for rock slope monitoring and site assessment at the Checkerboard Creek Rock Slope
DownloadFall 2020
In recent years ground-based, interferometric, synthetic aperture radar (GB-InSAR) has been successfully implemented for purposes of monitoring displacements of both natural and man-made slopes. GB-InSAR monitoring has also provided detailed, spatially continuous, and high temporal frequency...

Evaluating degraded ballast and track geometry variability along a Canadian freight railroad through ballast maintenance records and ground-penetrating radar
DownloadSpring 2018
The majority of track comprising Canadaâs large railway network is constructed on ballasted foundations. As such, the accumulation of fines within the void space between the ballast aggregate, referred to as ballast degradation, is considered to be a significant factor contributing to the...
