The report focuses on the results of first laboratory experimental tests aimed to investigate the response of model slopes in granular soils subjected to artificial rainfall.
The goal of the investigation is the assessment of the behaviour of representative slopes present in the part of the Campania Region covered by pyroclastic soils which pose major problems related to the triggering of catastrophic debris flows.
