Abstract: In the last 20 years, major efforts have been made to investigate shallow flow-type landslides. Such phenomena are usually rainfall-induced and in the geological context of Campania (Southern Italy) occur in pyroclastic soils resting on steep… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Pumice, a component of pyroclastic soils, undergoes a grain crushing process, even at lower stress level, with the resulting decreasing in shear strength in such material. According to the content already discussed in Esposito… read more here.
