Landslide monitoring is a global challenge that can take strong advantage from opportunities offered by Earth Observation (EO). The increasing availability of constellations small satellites (e.g., CubeSats) allowing the collection satellite images at an incredible revisit time (daily) and good spatial resolution. Furthermore, this trend expected to grow rapidly in next few years. In order explore potential using long stack for improving measurement ground displacement, we developed new...
Image correlation remote sensing monitoring techniques are becoming key tools for providing effective qualitative and quantitative information suitable natural hazard assessments, specifically landslide investigation monitoring. In recent years, these have been successfully integrated shown to be complementary competitive with more standard techniques, such as satellite or terrestrial Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometry. The objective of this article is apply the proposed in-depth...
Abstract On 19 March 2010, a 4 million m 3 landslide occurred at Poggio Baldi, small village in the Santa Sofia municipality, central Apennines (Forlì-Cesena, Italy). The caused severe damages to some homes and obstructed both SS310 national road Bidente river. Baldi arose “Marnoso-Arenacea Romagnola” formation composed of pelitic-arenaceous turbiditic sequence. was classified as rotational landslide, evolving into partially confined flow-like causing reactivation deposit previous that took...
The paper addresses a relevant subject in structural health monitoring for civil engineering applications such as bridges or other large structures. Experimental laboratory program on the accuracy and precision of remote displacement measurements was reported. Could an onboard optical camera Total Station (Image-Assisted (IATS) Leica Nova) be exploited to integrate measurement techniques even temporarily replace ordinary instrumental observations case instrument failure? experimental...
The presented approach based on distributed fiber optic sensing enables the assessment of curvature and bending characteristics along grouted anchors. paper presents sensor installation, laboratory tests system utilization under field conditions.
