I torrenti sono elementi fondamentali dell’ambiente montano e richiedono un’attenta gestione a causa della loro natura estremamente variabile. Le briglie idrauliche rappresentano quindi opere essenziali per regolare le portate d’acqua, limitare i fenomeni erosivi e proteggere infrastrutture ed insediamenti ma richiedono, come tutte le infrastrutture, costante monitoraggio e manutenzione. L’assenza di manutenzione regolare può portare al crollo delle strutture rilasciando conseguentemente un grande volume di sedimenti verso valle compromettendo la sicurezza delle possibili infrastrutture presenti. Uno dei problemi principali, oltre a quello finanziario, è redigere la priorità di intervento e valutare sul campo in modo rapido ed efficace le opere idrauliche così da poter maneggiare efficientemente risorse e tempo. Questa relazione si prefigge di applicare un metodo sperimentale sulle opere di un torrente collinare situato a Rivadolmo, una frazione del comune di Baone (PD) sui Colli Euganei. Cinque opere di cui quattro briglie e una soglia, sono state individuate nel torrente scelto. Si effettuerà un sopralluogo, ispezionando visivamente ogni opera e scattando foto ad ogni loro componente. In base a danni individuati ed all’osservazione degli elementi influenti sulla loro finalità operativa, si valuteranno rispettivamente lo stato strutturale e funzionale. Ad ogni opera verrà assegnato un punteggio tra 0 ed 1 che rappresenterà la priorità di intervento; un valore di 1 indica priorità assoluta. Dall’analisi delle cinque opere prese in esame si arriverà alla conclusione che nessuna richiede interventi di manutenzione immediata; tuttavia, emergeranno alcuni accorgimenti utili a migliorarne l’efficacia, sia delle opere che del MPi.

Abstract
Streams are fundamental elements of the mountain environment and require careful management due to their highly variable nature. Hydraulic check dams therefore represent essential structures for regulating water flow, limiting erosive processes, and protecting infrastructures and settlements; however, like all infrastructures, they require constant monitoring and maintenance. The absence of regular maintenance can lead to structural failure, consequently releasing a large volume of sediment downstream and compromising the safety of existing infrastructures. One of the main challenges beyond financial constraints is establishing a priority order for interventions and assessing hydraulic structures in the field quickly and effectively, to manage resources and time efficiently. This study aims to apply an experimental method to the structures of a stream located in Rivadolmo, a district of the municipality of Baone (PD) in the Euganean Hills. Five structures, including four check dams and one bed sill were identified along the selected stream. A field survey will be carried out, including a visual inspection of each structure and photographic documentation of all components. Based on the identified damages and on the observation of elements influencing their operational function, both structural and functional conditions will be assessed. Each structure will be assigned a score between 0 and 1, representing its intervention priority, with 1 indicating the highest priority. From the analysis of the five examined structures, it will be concluded that none will require immediate maintenance interventions; however, some measures will emerge as useful to improve the effectiveness of both the structures themselves and the applied evaluation method (MPi).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
