- Abstract
In the framework H2020-ARCH project, an Urban Seismic Network (USN) based on MEMS accelerometers was implemented in and around the historic centre of Camerino. These sensors lend themselves to being installed in dense configurations in urban environments due to their low cost, moreover their lower performance is acceptable also given the high environmental noise generally recorded . The technology used to reduce costs and dimensions is MEMS, with the support of ARM processors for data storage operations locally and in remote servers. These accelerometer stations can be easily installed into the buildings or on footings in roadside cabinets. The innovation that we want to show with this work is the opportunity to use these systems to carry out measurable information for the characterization of the local site response. The historic centre of Camerino is located along a natural hill and has a high density of buildings of historical-cultural value, which suffered widespread damage during the 2016-2017 sequence of Central Italy. The accelerometric network allowed to record the Mw5.5 earthquake event of the sequence along the Unbro-Marche coast and other local events of lower intensity. These recordings, also combined with previous measurements of environment noise, made it possible to obtain information about local effects on different parts of the town centre., The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023)
