in this paper it is hypothesized that coseismic faulting caused the huge damage recorded by the San Benedetto tunnel during the October 30, 2016 earthquake in Cen- tral Italy. The results of the survey of the damage suffered within a short sector of the tunnel, coupled with both geological observations carried out at surface, and the available seismo- logical data, strengthen this hypothesis.
This work presents the results from numerical analyses in the damaged area of Saletta hamlet (Amatrice municipality), aiming at discussing factors leading to the observed damages after the 24th August 2016 Mw 6.0 earthquake and the following aftershocks. The area of Saletta was in fact highly ravaged by the first earthquake and during the whole seismic sequence. Geological-technical detailed field investigations were combined with an Electrical Resistivity Tomography and several noise measurements for better evaluating the main geological-morphological variability over the study area.
