Abstract: This paper presents a set of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data obtained from in situ measurements conducted in four ornamental stone quarries located in Italy (Botticino quarry) and Romania (Ruschita, Carpinis, and Pietroasa quarries). The GPR is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technique that enables the detection and localization of fractures without damage to the surface, among other capabilities. In this study, two instruments of ground-coupled GPR were used to detect and locate the fractures, discontinuities, or weakened zones. The GPR data contains radargrams for discontinuities and fracture detection, besides the geographic location of the measures. For each measurement site, a set of radargrams has been acquired in two orthogonal directions, allowing for a 3D reconstruction of the investigated site.
