Engineering Geology for Society and Territory - Volume 8
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the preservation of cultural heritage. In 1972, the World Heritage Convention linked in a single framework the concepts of nature conservation and the preservation of cultural sites. Since then, engineering geology is enlarging its contributions to national and international projects on this topic and is extending its interests to key issues like: safeguarding of monuments and sites from geotechnical perspectives; advanced monitoring; investigations on cultural landscapes; development of geo-databases for cultural heritage classification; studies on the interactions between humankind, natural landscape evolution and cultural...
Earthquake Hazard Impact and Urban Planning
The classical field dealing with earthquakes is called “earthquake engineering” and considered to be a branch of structural engineering. In projects dealing with strategies for earthquake risk mitigation, urban planning approaches are often neglected. Today interventions are needed on a city, rather than a building, scale. This work deals with the impact of earthquakes, including also a broader view on multihazards in urban areas. Uniquely among other works in the field, particular importance is given to urban planning issues, in conservation of heritage and emergency management. Multicriteria decision making and broad participation of those affected by disasters are included.
Ground-Penetrating Radar for Archaeology
Ground-penetrating radar is a near-surface geophysical technique that can provide three-dimensional maps and other images of buried archaeological features and associated stratigraphy in a precise way. This revised edition, by the expert in the field, provides the basics of the physics, chemistry, geology, and archaeology in a clear fashion, unburdened by complex equations or theory. Additions to the forth edition include: Updates to recent hardware and software advances in three-dimensional antenna array systems and antenna offset technology; Expanded data processing methods that explains how to get more from your raw data, with examples to show why this is necessary and the results obtaine...
Marsica 1915 - L’Aquila 2009
Collana Antico/Futuro diretta da Claudio Varagnoli Il volume riunisce gli atti del convegno Ricostruzioni: Marsica 1915, L’Aquila 2009, organizzato con il Comune di Pescina (AQ) il 17 gennaio 2015 dall’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia e dall’Università di Chieti-Pescara “G. d’Annunzio”. La manifestazione rientrava nel quadro delle numerose attività che varie istituzioni pubbliche hanno organizzato per il centenario del grande terremoto del 1915. L’attenzione per l’anniversario di questo sisma – che danneggiò seriamente un ampio settore dell’Italia centrale – ha soprattutto riguardato la Marsica, territorio dell’Abruzzo prossimo all’Aquila, città co...
IL MILLENARIO DELLA FORTIFICAZIONE DI MELFI 1018-2018
Storia raccontata della fortificazione di Melfi nel 1018 da parte dei Bizantini fino all'arrivo dei Normanni nel 1041
Big Data in the Arts and Humanities
As digital technologies occupy a more central role in working and everyday human life, individual and social realities are increasingly constructed and communicated through digital objects, which are progressively replacing and representing physical objects. They are even shaping new forms of virtual reality. This growing digital transformation coupled with technological evolution and the development of computer computation is shaping a cyber society whose working mechanisms are grounded upon the production, deployment, and exploitation of big data. In the arts and humanities, however, the notion of big data is still in its embryonic stage, and only in the last few years, have arts and cultu...
