During the special sessions “Case Histories and Lessons learned”, some selected participants of the International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring, will bring their own experience for the benefit of the whole audience.

One of the sessions will be mainly addressed to issues and solutions in the monitoring of landslide processes in different contexts and complex environments by the continuous control of displacements and triggering factors. This session is in line with the topic of the field trip that will be held at the Poggio Baldi landslide on June 10, 2016 (More info at: www.landslidemonitoring.com)

Moreover, several lectures will be held to show interesting cases related to the monitoring of vibrations during underground blasting operations in urbanized areas, as well as the increasingly topical matter of data management in large infrastructures projects and the application of well targeted sensors for specific needs in structural monitoring cases.
