The laboratory supports ongoing research for the development of geophysical and NDT techniques for civil and environmental applications. Furthermore, it is equipped to use the following methodologies: surface seismics, Ground Penetrating Radar, sonic and radar tomography, and Electrical Resistivity Tomography.
The laboratory supports advanced research in the development of geophysical and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) techniques for applications in civil and environmental engineering. It is equipped to use the following geophysical methodologies:
- Surface seismics:
- Analysis of soil characteristics using surface seismic waves.
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR):
- Use of radar for the detection and mapping of underground structures.
- Sonic and radar tomography:
- Study of the ground structure through the behavior of sonic and radar waves.
- Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT):
- Investigation of soil electrical resistivity to obtain information on the composition and structure of the ground.
These methodologies allow for in-depth and non-invasive investigations, crucial for the monitoring and evaluation of structures and environments, with a particular focus on safety, sustainability, and innovation.
