Abstract :
In this work we propose to apply a model, already developed by the authors for the detection of faults inside a known grid of PEC scatterers, to the detection of ducts in reinforced concrete. The concrete is considered as a homogeneous lossless dielectric. Numerical results with noisy data in a configuration typical of a pillar show the applicability of the model.
