Transportation networks are severely affected by natural hazards, including landslides. The
prioritization of maintenance works is required to preserve the efficiency and functionality of …

In this work, we present the results of a rockfall trajectory study performed on the south-
western slope of Mt. Catiello (Sorrento Peninsula, southern Italy). Such a study develops …

In recent years, we have been witnessing the widespread use of low-cost, increasingly high-
performance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs, equipped with a large number of sensors …

By studying the mechanical characteristics of sandstone, particularly its acoustic emission
(AE) behaviour and fracture morphology, we can obtain insights into its deformation, stress …

This paper presents a novel integrated method for interactive characterization of fracture
spacing in rock tunnel sections. The main procedure includes four steps:(1) Automatic …

Cliffs are reservoirs of biodiversity; therefore, many plant species and communities of inland
and coastal cliffs are protected by Council Directive 92/43/EEC (European Economic …

All civil infrastructure, including bridges, deteriorates over time. Unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) based visual inspection of bridges has been proposed to assess the condition of …

Geotechnical mapping, rock mass characterization, and inspections of underground
excavations are critical to ensuring that excavation geometry and ground support design are …

Landslides are one of the most hazardous secondary effects of earthquakes due to the
potential for large-scale damage and long-term alterations to landscapes. During the 2016 …

The cliff ecosystem is one of the least human-disturbed ecosystems in nature, and its
inaccessible and often extreme habitats are home to many ancient and unique plant …
