This document discusses the validation of estimated ground settlement measurements from InSAR (interferometric synthetic aperture radar) data against observed building damage in Cajamarca, Peru in 2021. The study aims to match estimated differential settlements (δv and β) to local faults and cracks in buildings, considering building typology and geology. By pairing the estimated deformations to observed failures and cracks in five example buildings, the study found good agreement between estimated and observed damage.

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.
