Geotechnical analysis on the effects of Tiber river hydraulic regime in the city centre of Rome within the Project Tiber’S

Seasonal variation in the Tiber hydraulic level results in a fluctuation of the groundwater table (GWT) depth, thus in a change in the effective stress of the superficial layer of made ground (MG). This paper focuses on the evaluation of displacement induced by GWT oscillation in the MG layer by means of hydro-mechanical numerical analyses along a typical geotechnical section of the city centre of Rome. The data predicted are compared with satellite monitored data. This work is conducted within the Tiber’S research project whose aim is to provide open access data on a WebGis platform to promote non-invasive monitoring and predictive risk assessment related to water table oscillations of the Tiber River surrounding areas.
