Within the scope of the project, the building materials and their state of conservation have carefully examined.

Seismivc waves were produced with an hammer and recorded by microphones placed around the pillars. Recorded data have been elaborated with tomographic techniques.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
