In the last 20 years, several catastrophic precipitation-induced landslides have hit villages,
towns and roads in Campania (southern Italy), causing extensive damage and many …

In the context of landslide-prone pyroclastic soils this paper investigates the physical
significance of antecedent rainfalls in relation to the major rainfall event and the influence …

In the field of rainfall-induced landslides on sloping covers, models for early warning
predictions require an adequate trade-off between two aspects: prediction accuracy and …

This paper investigates the interaction between soil and atmosphere in pyroclastic soils with
a view to understanding whether and to what extent the prediction of the hydraulic (and …

In many areas of the world, slopes covered by shallow unsaturated non-plastic soil layers
experience rainfall-induced landslides causing heavy damage and casualties every year …

To manage natural risks, an increasing effort is being put in the development of early
warning systems (EWS), namely, approaches facing catastrophic phenomena by timely …

Seismic analysis of earth and rockfill dams is generally done by two methods, quasi-static
and dynamic. However, the quasi-static method provides dam safety with ease of use and …

The triggering mechanism of debris flows and mudflows involving unsaturated soils has
been extensively covered in the literature. It is associated with heavy rainfalls occurring …

The estimation of evaporative fluxes and their effects on soil suction is assuming a
prominent role in the field of interpretation and early-warning prediction of rainfall-induced …

In situ monitoring of the hydrological response probably represents the most effective
approach for implementing early warning systems for landslides in pyroclastic covers. To …
