Surface and borehole geophysics for the rehabilitation of a concrete dam (Penne, Central Italy)

In this paper, surface and borehole geophysical surveys are employed to improve the effectiveness of a rehabilitation intervention (cut-off wall) to be executed on the right abutment of a leaking concrete dam (Penne, Central Italy). In a first step, surface geophysical measurements (electrical resistivity and P-wave velocity data), were collected to provide a geophysical model to be compared to the preliminary geological model available before the geophysical survey.
