Weather induced landslides cause a large number of casualties as well as severe economic losses worldwide every year. Such a diffuse risk cannot be mitigated only by means of structural works, typically characterized ...

In recent years, the contamination of groundwater has become a growing threat at global scale. The improper release of chemicals from numerous and different sources (landfills, leaking storage tanks, etc.) in the subsurface ...

Characterizing and forecasting the evolution of slope movements are highly studied topics due to the possible consequences of landslides on buildings, infrastructures and in terms of loss of life. The international scientific ...

Large deformation analysis has become recently centre of attraction in geotechnical design. It is used to predict geotechnical boundary value problems such as, excessive movement of soil masses like landslides or soil-structure ...

Pyroclastic soils are widely diffused all over the world and they are characterized by high porosity and an open metastable internal structure. In situ they usually cover the shallowest layers of slopes in unsaturated ...

Flow-like mass movements are catastrophic events occurring all over the world and may result in a great number of casualties and widespread damages. The analysis of the time-space evolution of the kinematic quantities is ...

In recent years, the disasters caused by landslides tragically increased due to the demographic growth and the indiscriminate use of land. Among the different types of landslides, flow-like phenomena - often simultaneously ...

Nel mondo si registrano sistematicamente danni sociali, economici e ambientali indotti da subsidenza o fenomeni franosi a cinematica lenta. Per tale ragione appaiono di indubbio interesse sia per la Comunità scientifica ...

Shallow landslides in non-collapsible, fine-grained soils are natural phenomena which, due to their simultaneous occurrence over large areas, often cause agricultural production loss, with enormous economic damage. Although ...

Landslide early warning systems are non-structural risk mitigation strategies aiming at dealing with intolerably high probabilities of landslide occurrence by reducing risk through the reduction of the exposed elements. ...
