Abstract The efficacy of Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA) for evaluating particle size and shape
parameters was explored using three natural sands, having varying particle morphologies …

Mt. Etna, the largest volcano in Europe, is periodically interested by intensive eruption
activity sometimes causing environmental problems for the neighbouring urban areas such …

Two-dimensional (2D) dynamic image analysis (DIA) is gaining acceptance in geotechnical
engineering research. Three-dimensional (3D) DIA extracts features from 8–12 projections …

This research investigates the potential of volcanic ash as a green roof material, focusing on
its thermal conductivity, physical characteristics, and permeability. Laboratory tests were …

Rubber seals for closing devices operating in cold climates degrade quickly in aggressive
environments at very low temperatures. As a result, leaks and failures occur in the closure …

When granular soil particles are compressed, particles are broken, especially under high-
stress conditions, and the particle size distribution is altered, which greatly increases the …

The discrete element method (DEM) is frequently used to investigate the behaviour of
granular media (Bravo in Simulation of soil and tillage-tool interaction by the discrete …

Abstract Volcanic eruption at La Palma island (Tajogaite, 2021) has produced tons of
volcanic ash as natural sediments spread all around the island covering existing crops …

In this note the undrained cyclic behaviour of a pyroclastic silty sand typical of the
Neapolitan area, in southern Italy, is analysed through an extensive laboratory investigation …

The shape and the size of grains in sediments and soils have a significant influence on their
engineering properties. Image analysis of grain shape and size has been increasingly …
