In recent years, space-based techniques InSAR (interferometric

aperture radar synthetic) have demonstrated their ability to


provide accurate measurements of the displacements of the
earth's surface to monitor natural processes. The landslides
threaten human lives and structures, especially in áreas
urbanized, where the density of elements at risk sensitive to
the movements of the ground is high.
This report aims to validate the estimated PSI differential
settlements matching δv and β to local fault and crack patterns
in buildings recognized in-situ with background data (building
typology, geology).
The proposed approach consists in deriving maximum
directions of settlement of the buildings investigated from
displacement data revealed by measurements of radar and
then cross-comparing these values with background geological
data, construction characteristics and in-situ evidence. This
validation allows a better understanding whether or not the
movements detected correspond to visible and effective
damage to the buildings. The method has been applied in
Cajamarca in the year 2021.
By validating the estimated PSI differential settlements by
pairing δv and β to failures locations and crack patterns in
buildings recognized in-situ with background data (the typology
of buildings, geology), the following conclusion is reached, a
Good agreement between the estimated deformations of the
buildings and the evidence of damage in the field in the five
example buildings within the study area in Cajamarca.

In 1887, Albert A. Michelson developed the first interferometer


and demonstrated the use of the principle of light interference
as a measurement tool. In recent decades, satellite radar
interferometry has been used to detect movements of the
Earth's surface, for On the other hand, we can also obtain
images with wide areas to be able to monitor the instability of
the ground.
Any structural element subjected to the action of loads is
deformed. In most cases the deformations are imperceptible.
Deformations in buildings are a latent problem. The analysis of
these deformations had an improvement as a result of modern
structural geology. John Graham Ramsay father of modern
structural geology, whose work contributed to the
advancement of structural geology have been recognized,
among others, by the Bigsby (1973) and Wollaston (1986)
medals from the Geological Society of London.
