Measurements of the Colosseum response to environmental actions

The Colosseum is the most famous monument of ancient Rome. Differential settlements of its foundations, standing partly on alluvial deposits and partly on stiff soil, and various earthquakes are the main causes of collapses that give the Colosseum its present shape. In order to preserve the monument a number of structural interventions were made during the 19th century. At present, the health status of the monument requires to be monitored against possible degradation phenomena.

A rigorous matrix procedure for calculating the line constants and wave parameters of uniform MTLs using SMT/PMU

Real-time monitoring of the operation state of wide-area transmission line links has become possible with the help of phasor meter units. Synchronized information acquired by phasor meter units needs to be adequately processed to permit the accurate estimation of the line constants of the transmission link. In this paper, a novel general rigorous compact procedure for correctly processing the measured voltage and current phasors of uniform multiconductor transmission line systems is proposed.
