RECAP project
Post-earthquake Reconstruction Ancient experiments and innovations at Pompeii
How does one rebuild after an earthquake? Following a multi-disciplinary approach, this project studies the consequences of the seismic impacts in Campania, and more specifically at Pompeii, with a view to determining the existence of a culture of seismic risk management in antiquity.

ACROSS project
Definition for a strategy to characterize historical ground motion based on ArChaeology, inventory of RecOnstruction, Seismology and Structural engineering
The project goal is to demonstrate that archaeological characterization of post-seismic repairs on buildings can be successfully used to infer key ground motion and earthquake source characteristics of historical earthquakes.
The project is founded by the Agence Nationale de la recherche ANR-20-CE03-0003. Collaboration with:
