The use of geo-reinforcements under shallow foundations is aimed to increase the soil mechanical properties and, consequently, to improve the footing load carrying capacity reducing the associated settlements. Sim-plified approaches generally rely on corrective factors, allowing the analysis of reinforced foundation start-ing from the knowledge...

Innovative researches developed by the Authors are described in order to demonstrate the usefulness of GIS (Geographic Information System) in support of geotechnical analysis, with particular reference to risk zoning and mitigation and to the monitoring of slopes. A multivariate statistical procedure for the estimation of landslide...
