The aim of this research is to characterize the geomaterials used for the construction of the Temple of Venus, located in the Phlegraean Fields area (Southern Italy), through a multi-analytical approach involving petrographic and mineralogical analysis. The 9 samples characterized for this study are mortars, bricks, building stone, tuff, volcanic scoria and lava, along with efflorescence. This study highlighted the following m...

Waste deriving from quarrying operations of natural stone material retains almost all the mineralogical and compositional characteristics of the original material, for such reason this research aimed to test prototypes cementitious tile adhesives made up recycling the Alwar Quartzite waste, used as fine and ultra-fine aggregate. Particle size distribution analysis, along with X-ray diffractometry, X-ray fluorescence and Scanni...

In this paper, we aim to define a procedure of flood hazard assessment applicable to large river basins in which flood events can be induced/sustained by the full basin area or by fractions of the total area as functions of the extent of the triggering precipitation event. The proposed procedure is based on a combined approach accounting for (1) the reconstruction of intensity–duration–frequency curves expressing the magnitude...
