Bridges and viaducts are critical elements of transportation infrastructure, ensuring their structural integrity is vital for safety functionality. These structures susceptible to damage from natural events, like landslides, or human-made accidents, which can lead severe consequences such as collapses, traffic disruptions, risks. The severity these impacts depends on factors the type landslide design condition infrastructure. Evaluating risks requires a thorough assessment various factors,...
The stratigraphy of urban sub-soils is commonly quite complex and the effective use GPR technology requires a modelling signal propagation as occurring into layered structure, often made up by not flat interfaces, rather than homogeneous medium. Accordingly, estimate velocity different materials needs to be accurate, because it affects both focusing positioning buried targets [1-2]. In this framework, we propose an extension diffraction hyperbola method tool for retrieving electromagnetic...
Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures represents one the main causes degradation for civil and infrastructure, making development innovative strategies monitoring their health strongly recommended. In this context, non-invasive geophysical methodologies have been demonstrated to be effective, but information provided is often qualitative not fully usable engineering purposes [1-2].A laboratory test was conducted at Hydrogeosite CNR-IMAA facility explore potential resistivity methods...
The WP7 - GEOSPHERE-LANDSURFACE of the ITINERIS project (Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System, PNRR M4C2 Inv.3.1 IR), funded by European Union – Next Generation EU, aims to provide openly accessible digital data on solid Earth scientific community, public, and decision-makers in line with Digital concept.Specifically, Activity 7.4 is dedicated developing an integrated multi-scale, multi-resolution, multi-sensor approach for characterizing surface,...
The effective use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) in urban environment benefits the ability to manage data referred a layered scenario. GPR imaging media can be improved either making focusing algorithms [1-2] accounting rigorous way for structure soil or, more simply and less demandingly from point view available computing resources, joined migration combined time-depth conversion [3-4]. These recently introduced possibilities allow deal with as homogeneous ones. inhomogeneity...
The Italian NEW AGE project (PRIN 2022 “New Integrated Approach for Seismic Protection and Enhancement of Heritage Buildings on Historic Earthen Deposits”) seeks to advance seismic risk mitigation strategies all cities with significant monumental heritage historic centres.The adopts a holistic approach, treating the urban environment as an integrated soil-building system, assess address mutual interactions between subsurface conditions overlying cultural structures. This...
Geophysical techniques are widely applied in the archaeological field to highlight variations of physical behaviour subsoil due presence ancient and buried remains., Considerable efforts required understand complexity relationship between features their geophysical response where saturated conditions occur. In case lacustrine wetland scenarios, contrasts or electromagnetic signal attenuation effects drastically reduce capabilities methodologies for detection structures such conditions. To...
Abstract The paper deals with the results of an archaeo-geophysical approach adopted for study and reconstruction architectural plan medieval monastery San Pietro a Cellaria in Calvello (Basilicata, Southern Italy). is remarkable witness to Benedectine architecture 12-13th century Basilicata, built by monks Congregation S. Maria di Pulsano, who were active mainly southern Italy. historical data diachronic study, based on analysis building techniques, provide evidence long intense history,...
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) are typical geophysical techniques applied into archaeological context thanks to their capability study variations of physical attributes buried objects in the soil causing electric electromagnetic contrasts compared behaviour surrounding environment. Unfortunately sometimes these difficult define for several reasons including strong attenuation signals introduced soil, limited depth low resolution investigation...
Hydrocarbons represent one of the most dangerous sources contamination for environmental resources. Petroleum contaminants released from leaking fuel storage tanks or accidental spillages serious worldwide problems. Knowledge contaminant distribution in subsoil is very complex, and direct measurements, such as boreholes drillings, are strongly required. Even if measurements define accurate information, on contrary, they have low spatial coverage. Geophysics can effectively support...
Southern Italy is characterized by important archaeological sites developed during the pre-roman period. Among these, Paestum and Velia Archaeological Park, located in Campania region, represents one of most well-preserved Magna Graecia. During last year, several unexpected findings have permitted supposition presence another undiscovered temple at Paestum, a not yet investigated area site, close to fortification walls (Western City Walls) ancient city few meters away from gate Porta Marina....
Abstract Monte Torretta (Pietragalla, PZ) represents one of the most interesting and less known settlements ancient Lucania. The site was investigated in last 50 years by several archaeological activities, but no result has been published so far. In order to study disseminate value site, Université Paris 1 Panthéon‐Sorbonne Humboldt‐Universität zu Berlin established joint Pietragalla Project. project is based on a multidisciplinary approach, which aims at studying settlement recovering lost...
The Tramutola area in the High Agri Valley represents a key for Southern Apennines fold and thrust belt. There, natural oil seeps from small carbonate reservoirs located at shallow depths that have been historically known since 19th century, hypothermal water was discovered during hydrocarbon exploration. From geological point of view, study area, extending about 11 km2, is characterized with presence complete section tectonic units southern complex structural framework has not yet fully...
Abstract Groundwater seepage leads to the formation of theater-headed valleys (THVs) in unconsolidated sediments. In bedrock, role groundwater THV development remains disputed. Here, we integrate field and remote-sensing observations from Gnejna Valley (Maltese Islands) with numerical modeling demonstrate that can be main driver jointed limestone overlying clays. The inferred erosion mechanisms entail (1) widening joints fractures by fluid pressure dissolution (2) creeping an underlying clay...

This paper describes the results obtained using an archaeogeophysical-based approach for discovering new Roman structures belonging to ancient settlement of Forentum, currently identifiable by a well-preserved sanctuary from third century BC. The investigated area has been affected invasive anthropic activities that have partially damaged structures. Extensive geophysical measurements, including detailed ground-penetrating radar investigations supported magnetometric data, allowed...
Although seismic events rarely cause structural damages to buried pipelines, they can nevertheless result in a significant loss of functionality. While the dynamic response pipe is obviously dependent on characteristics event and type question, careful assessment stresses induced by earthquake cannot neglect interaction between pipeline surrounding soil. In present paper numerical model developed order evaluate acting pipes under hypothesis that soil Winkler elastic medium be held continuous...
Cyclisation of 1-(2-acylaminomethylbenzyl)pyrroles by the action phosphoryl chloride led to 6,11-dihydro-pyrrolo[1,2-b][2,5] benzodiazocine derivatives. The parent nucleus was synthesised through alkaline hydrolysis 1-(2-acetamidomethylbenzyl)pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde.
The need to investigate underwater structures leads study the capability of geophysical methods analyze physical behavior subsoil in water saturated conditions. Ground penetrating radar and electrical resistivity are well suited localize identify but these affected by some limitations that analyzed laboratory where an archaeological site was simulated. GPR ERT applied results with two techniques compared discussed.
The increasing use of geophysical investigations for archaeological purposes is now provided also by Italian reforms about preventive archaeology. They allow not only the discovery or spatial definition possible buried evidence, but they are able to define state preservation ancient structures.
