The integration of a new sensor and geomatic techniques for monitoring the Roman bridge S. Angelo on the Savuto river (Scigliano, Italy)

Abstract

The S. Angelo Roman bridge is an important remain, along the Via ab Regio ad Capuam, a Roman road quite well preserved. The bridge, sited in the valley of the Savuto river, is subject to structural monitoring by integrated techniques. In the framework of the several activities regarding the artifact and other historic buildings, a new sensor dedicated to structural and environmental monitoring has been realized. Geomatic activities, previously carried out, had allowed to realize a 3D model useful to carry out a Finite Element Modeling analysis. The output of this FEM analysis will be compared to the data obtained by the new sensor. The monitoring campaign that has just started is presented and the expected results are described.
