This study presents the results of an experimental investigation conducted on a 2:3 scale model two-story stone masonry building. We tested UniKORE L.E.D.A. lab shake table, simulating Mw 6.3 earthquake ground motion that struck L’Aquila, Italy, 6 April 2009, with progressively increasing peak acceleration levels. installed network accelerometric sensors to capture its structural behaviour under seismic excitation. Medium-to lower-cost MEMS accelerometers (classes A and B) were compared...
The INGV-PROMUD is a 3-years (2023-2025) multidisciplinary project (https://progetti.ingv.it/it/promud), aimed to investigate the indicators of activity MVs, with ultimate goal individuating possible precursors paroxysmal events. Its two main target areas, both in Italy, are ‘Salse di Nirano’ (Northern Apennines) and ‘Maccalube Aragona’ (Sicily).Among research activities carried out scopes project, particular attention focused on analysis background...
We describe the first dense real-time urban seismic–accelerometric network in Italy, named OSU-CT, located historic center of Catania. The city lies region with greatest danger, vulnerability, and earthquake exposure entire Italian territory. OSU-CT was planned realized within project called EWAS “an Early WArning System for cultural heritage”, aimed at rapid assessment earthquake-induced damage testing an on-site early warning system. is mainly based on low-cost instrumentation ad hoc by...
<p>The TOMO-ETNA experiment was planned in order to obtain a detailed geological and structural model of the continental oceanic crust beneath Mt. Etna volcano northeastern Sicily up Aeolian Islands (southern Italy), by integrating data from active passive refraction reflection seismic methodologies, magnetic gravity surveys. This paper focuses on marine activities performed within experiment, which have been carried out Ionian Tyrrhenian Seas, during three multidisciplinary...
Abstract. The Ionian Sea in southern Italy is at the center of active interaction and convergence between Eurasian African–Adriatic plates Mediterranean. This area seismically with instrumentally and/or historically recorded Mw>7.0 earthquakes, it affected by recently discovered long strike-slip faults across Calabrian accretionary wedge. Many mud volcanoes occur on top A one (called Bortoluzzi Mud Volcano or BMV) was surveyed during Seismofaults 2017 cruise (May 2017). High-resolution...
Seismological data recorded in the Ionian Sea by a network of seven Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBSs) during 2017–2018 SEISMOFAULTS experiment provides close-up view seismogenic structures that are potential sources medium-high magnitude earthquakes. The high-quality signal-to-noise ratio waveforms observed for earthquakes at different scales: teleseismic, regional, and local as well single station small crack events. In this work, we focus on two types recording: 1) 2) Short Duration Events...
The InSEA project (“ In itiatives in S upporting the consolidation and enhancement of E MSO research infrastructure consortium (ERIC) related A ctivities”) has objective, as full name indicates, to consolidate strengthen infrastructures concerning EMSO (“European Multidisciplinary Seafloor water column Observatory”) ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) all those technical-scientific activities it. particular, is upgrading localized distributed marine infrastructures,...
Summary Several shallow submarines areas are characterized by considerable releases of hydrocarbon gases, which, during earthquakes or volcanic activity, may suddenly and violently occur. In some instances, changes in chemical physical properties gas emissions, which generated geothermal systems connected to the volcanoes’ plumbing system, important precursors activity useful indices for study field. Furthermore, superficial structures such faults, landslide slopes archaeological relics...
In this work the mechanical design of a tide gauge station is presented. The structure consists surge pipe anchored to pier and partially immersed in seawater. Despite such conceptual simplicity, required careful analysis under different points view ensure long life hostile environment which will be installed guarantee an optimal sea level monitoring. was 3D modeled with main purposes simplifying production process installation phase, materials were chosen withstand aggressiveness marine...

This work presents a new low cost and power consumption wide-band (5s) three-component seismic sensor, named ETL3D/5s. The sensor is suitable for regional monitoring (local earthquakes), HVSR measurements, microzonation studies Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of civil structures. ETL3D/5s includes set three 4.5 Hz geophones an electronic circuit that increases the geophone's natural period. exhibits period 5 s as 75 mW. Changes in ambient temperature have small effect on frequency...
