Acknowledgements
I'm extremely pleased for the high number of people who collaborated with me and
especially those with whom I shared my time during my PhD. For sure I will not be able to
mention them all, but everyone has my sincere gratitude.
My advisor Prof. Renato Lancellotta, no words can express enough my gratitude to him. I
have a great debt to him and I'm sure it will not be possible for me as a pupil to surpass my
Master. Even those who have never met him personally know of his scientific value, but
only those who are lucky enough to work with him can tell about his high human qualities.
I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Jamiolkowski. Since the start of my PhD
program his suggestions have always been of great value to me and finally his peer review
has been very important during the writing of this dissertation.
The turning point of my research on surface wave propagation and soil characterization has
been the period I spent as a research scholar at iaTech with Prof. Glenn Rix. My
gratitude to him is not only due to the knowledge he transmitted to me but also to his warm
hospitality. During that period I learned so much and I want to thank also the whole
ia Tech faculty and my colleagues who gave me great help.
