STUDY OF INTERACTION OF SLOW SLOPE GRAVITATIONAL DEFORMATIOS WITH INFRASTRUCTURES BASED ON REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUE

Slope gravitational deformations and landslides are a natural hazard quite commons in young geological countries as Italy, that can cause significant damages to infrastructure, including bridges, tunnels, railways and buildings. In particular, slow slope gravitational deformations may have a long-term impact on bridges and viaducts as they often occur over extended periods, and the resulting deformation can be difficult to detect. Remote sensing technologies have emerged as an effective tool for detecting slow landslides and monitoring their impact on bridges. This work provides some examples of the interaction between slow and very slow slope gravitative deformations and bridges and their analysis using remote sensing techniques. First, the causes and types of slow slope gravitative deformations are discussed, with a focus on their impact on bridges. Several factors contribute to slow movements that have been examined by the use of remote sensing for analysing the impact of slow movements on bridges. The main findings of this study are presented, by highlighting the potential for remote sensing technologies to improve our understanding of the interaction between slow slope gravitational deformations and bridges.
