Dynamic characterization of the hill of Civita di Bagnoregio (Viterbo, Central Italy) for seismic response analysis

Located on the top of a volcanic butte, Civita di Bagnoregio is one of the most beautiful villages in Central Italy. This hamlet, which dates back to the Etruscan era, is a medieval cluster of enchanting beauty and a massive tourist attraction that counted more than six hundred thousand visitors in 2016.

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.
