Double flat jack tests and sonic tests, in order to characterize the different masonry types present in the complex, were made in “Grancia di Cuna”, a medieval fortified farm in province of Siena (Modena). In particular, we investigated rammed earthen walls and solid brick masonry with earthen mortar.

Dolcè (VR) – Villa del bene
The structure of “Villa del Bene”, in the hamlet of Volargne, in Dolcè (VR) is divided into different parts of buildings, began in the fifteenth century and amended several times. Surveys consisted of flat jack tests, sonic tomographic tests, investigations by videoscope and dynamic studies for the determination of the shot of the chains.

Padova – Service center “Beato Pellegrino”
The service center “Beato Pellegrino” in Padua is an institution for the elderly. In the structure thermographic investigations, coring tests, tests using hammer, covermeter and ultrasonic probes, SonReb elaborations, load tests on floors and extractions of steel bars for the determination of the tensile strength in the laboratory were performed.

Moglia (MN) – Dewatering plant of Mondine
The dewatering “centrale idrovora di Mondine” in Moglia (MN) had substantial damage following the earthquake of Emilia Romagna in May 2012. Single and double flat jack tests, tests by covermeter, pull-out tests, coring tests on concrete and carbonation tests on cores extracted and sampling of steel bars to determine the tensile strength in laboratory were […]

Marano di Valpolicella (VR) – Church of SS. Pietro e Paolo
The church of “SS. Pietro e Paolo” in Marano di Valpolicella (VR), presents a cracks pattern of considerable size. For this reason a system of control by displacement transducers placed astride the main cracks observed was installed. For the knowledge of the structures flat jack tests, scans through covermeter, coring tests in foundation and investigations […]
