Summary: The objektive of the research is to investigate the stability ofretaining walls made of stone without mortar, which are found inold roads such as the Via Ludoviceae, near 200 years old. Themultiple increase of motor wehicle traffic, as well as erosion,brought the roads to the limit of usuability with frequentdestruction. A metodology for establishing the safety along theroad will be elaborated by parallel static and dynamic analisysof retaining walls on profiles with known cross section.

Keywords: Gravity wall, rock, road, stability, dinamic load.

Research goals: The objective is to find the stability of stone walls without mortar in old mainroads-by measuring the response to the dynamic excitation. Since for those walls we usually have no information about the dimensions of the cross-section, embankments and foundations, it is not possible to performe the static control of the stability. Endeavours will be made in order to find out the reliability of the retaining walls from the shape of oscillations. At the end a systematic list of measures of impruvement will be made-together with the analysis of the mutual action.
