“…In this work, the possibility of modifying the property sets through Dynamo was also exploited, as it will be shown later. As mentioned, our research team was prompted to carry out the same friction test for both types of pavements found in site, since they are subjected to the exact same vehicular traffic (Autelitano et al, 2022). The test adopted was the British Pendulum Test.…”

The growing necessity to design and digitally representation of historical pavements has led the specialists to use different Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools to control the road design and construction phases. In this research paper, a Heritage BIM (H-BIM) approach was developed to recreate an archaeological road to accomplish the disruption analysis of stone pavements. In detail, within Autodesk Infraworks the conceptual model of the road and the digital terrain model (DTM) was generated; then the road corridor design process was performed within Autodesk Civil 3D using a parametric road section which was created by means of Subassembly composer, a Civil 3D extension. Subsequently, a visual programming application, Dynamo, based on Python language, was adopted to extract and update corridor information. In detail, a workflow was developed to implement a disruption analysis of road stone pavements and the output of the calculation were inserted in the model. As preliminary results, a tool is proposed to support the authorities and experts during the managing processes.

Diagnostic Multidisciplinary Investigations for Cultural Heritage at Etna Volcano: A Case Study from the 1669 Eruption in the Mother Church at the Old Settlement of Misterbianco

et al. 2022

Misterbianco is located on the southern flank of Mt. Etna (Unesco site), in eastern Sicily (Italy). This site, also known as Monasterium Album, has a long and tormented history linked with volcanic activity of Mt. Etna and regional seismicity. This site received much attention in the 2000s when excavation works brought to light a 14th century church remains below the thick layer of the 1669 lava. This study documents the first diagnostic multidisciplinary survey performed at this site 350 years after the eruption: the investigations were performed by using techniques such as ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography, a terrestrial laser scanner and a drone survey to analyze the site’s topography, to adequately map the hidden structures inside the building and to identify fractures and deformations in the church. Starting from the site history, we present the results of the multidisciplinary approach aimed at reconstructing the historical events that led to the damage in the church.

“…The most common correlation for DCP is its correlation with CBR. Where the material type of each pavement layer was determined using the correlation in accordance to ASTM, except lean clay soil [3]. Correlating the DCPI with geotechnical parameters provides rapid, cost-effective, and reliable results compared to other soil exploration methods.…”

In-situ tests for predicting geotechnical parameters related to shear strength, such as California Bearing Ratio (CBR), typically require drilling boreholes and manual cone driving, which can be timeconsuming, expensive, and labor-intensive. The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test (DCPT) has emerged as a simpler, faster, and less expensive alternative for predicting CBR and other geotechnical parameters. This systematic review uses Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to examine relevant literature on DCP testing for accurately predicting CBR and other geotechnical parameters. After trimming 111 relevant studies to 55, the review discusses various research questions, including the correlation between DCP and CBR, factors such as water content and seasonal variations, and recent advances in DCP testing. The review emphasizes the importance of considering unsaturated soil behavior, such as soil suction, in pavement subgrade design to ensure the longevity and quality of the pavement. The findings provide compelling evidence for the utilization of DCP testing as an essential tool for predicting geotechnical parameters and designing high-performance pavements. By demonstrating the DCPT's remarkable convenience, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in CBR and geotechnical parameter prediction, this study paves the way for significant advancements in pavement design efficiency and economic viability.
