GPR, which permits the capture of high-resolution subterranean data, has developed into a key geophysical technique for determining the depth, geometry, boundaries, and volumes of buried shallow objects. In this study, the detectability of the location, size, and physical property parameters of buried objects with the ground radar method was revealed by creating a laboratory environment in real field conditions. For this purpose, a realistic laboratory environment with a depth and length of 5 m was created on the filled soil material at the test site, and buried objects with different material properties were placed. In addition, by adding sand material to the middle part of the soil fill material in the test area, its situation in different layers was tried to be examined. GPR data were collected on the models using the RAMAC CU II system and a 500 MHz center frequency shield antenna. After processing the data, reflected/scattered electromagnetic (EM) wave fields on the radargram of a profile perpendicular to the buried objects were examined. In this way, the positions, sizes, physical properties (types) of buried objects along with their depths and their situations in different layer environments have been revealed. According to the results, the peak width of hyperbolas and the sizes of buried objects were determined on the processed radargrams. The types of buried objects and their situations in different layer environments are clearly revealed. The scattered wave field amplitudes of the plastic pipe (A and C regions) from the reflection coefficients are substantially lower than the scattered wave field amplitudes of the iron pipe (B region) from the buried objects. It is thought that the strong reflections extending from the C region to the deep on the radar are caused by the lead blocks in the plastic pipe.
