Abstract: Kit for monitoring poles, in particular wooden poles, that comprises: a detection device (10) comprising at least one collar (11) to be secured to a pole (20) to be evaluated, said at least one collar (11) bearing one or more sensors (12) capable of detecting a response determined by the percussion of said pole (20),—a percussion device (16) to stress said pole (20) and determine said response;—a data transmission system (13) in signal connection with said one or more sensors (12) to receive the values measured from them;—a portable computer (15) to receive and process the data transmitted via said data transmission system (13) from the detection device (10) to achieve monitoring of the damage produced by degradation.

Abstract: A method for the study of elastic wave phenomena in the ground, where the detection of said phenomena is carried out with the use of at least a geophone comprising at least a couple of transducers (20, 21; 37, 38), each transducer (20, 21; 37, 38) being apt to detect horizontally polarized shear waves, represented by SH signals, and compression waves, represented by P signals.
