This paper shows the application of different geophysical methods carried out at the same site within a study related to an urban geology problem. The objective of the study was to reveal the extension of a shallow mud level in the urban area of the Abbadia San Salvatore (Siena, Italy) municipal area. Many buildings, including a school, are founded on a two meter layer that rests on this mud level. This geological configuration constitutes a potential risk for the safety of the local inhabitants. The results obtained with seismic methods that make use of both body and surface waves combined with gravimetric surveys and calibrated by borehole drilling logs are critically discussed.

Abstract
This paper shows the application of different geophysical methods carried out at the same site within a study related to an urban geology problem. The objective of the study was to reveal the extension of a shallow mud level in the urban area of the Abbadia San Salvatore (Siena, Italy) municipal area. Many buildings, including a school, are founded on a two meter layer that rests on this mud level. This geological configuration constitutes a potential risk for the safety of the local inhabitants. The results obtained with seismic methods that make use of both body and surface waves combined with gravimetric surveys and calibrated by borehole drilling logs are critically discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
