  • Integrated Geophysical Surveys for the Characterization of a Cultural Heritage Building and Its Subsoil

    Open AccessSebastiano Imposa, Claudia Pirrotta et al.ARTICLEHeritage2026

    This study presents a multi-methodological approach combining subsurface characterization with dynamic structural assessment to evaluate Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) mechanisms at the Palazzo Centrale. The 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and active Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) results were compared with a lithostratigraphic core log to outline the subsurface framework. The stratigraphic framework mapped geotechnica…

  • Dynamic Characterization and Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) of Heritage Buildings

    Open AccessClaudia Pirrotta, Anna Maria Gueli et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025

    The dynamic characterization of historical buildings located in a complex geological and seismological context is essential to assess seismic vulnerability and to guide conservation strategies. This study presents a non-invasive, ambient vibration-based, investigation of the Norman Castle of Aci Castello (Sicily, Italy), applying Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR), Horizontal to Horizontal Spectral Ratio (HHSR), and Random Decrement Met…

  • New discovery of an ancient building in Akragas (Valley of Temples, Agrigento, Italy) through the integration of geophysical surveys

    Open AccessSebastiano Imposa, Sabrina Grassi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2024References: 7

    The integration of geophysical methodologies applied in an unexplored area of the Valley of the Temples, in the ancient Akragas (ancient name of Agrigento), has led to the exciting discovery of buried building remains. The study site, situated north of Plateia I-L, is largely unexplored and considered to be rich in archaeological remains. The site, approximately 3.000 m2, was divided into four sectors and investigated by using not invasive geophy…

  • Seismic Soil–Structure Interaction of Three Historical Buildings at the University of Catania (Sicily, Italy)

    Open AccessSabrina Grassi, Maria Serafina Barbano et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022References: 1

    This study aimed to evaluate the soil–structure interaction of three historical buildings at the University of Catania using ambient noise. The results point out the different oscillation modes of Villa Cerami and Palazzo Boscarino buildings sharing a side. They also show different damping values, which are probably linked to the different rigidities of the structures, since one is a masonry building and the other is a reinforced concrete buildin…
