No full textIl volume restituisce gli esiti del programma di residenze di studiosi, curatori, direttori di musei presso la rete di musei e archivi di Parma nel corso del 2017. Sono quindi raccolti saggi di Kurt Forster, Michele Lanzinger, Martino Stierli, Elisabetta Terragni, Luca Vitone, introdotti da un testo di Jeffrey Schnapp che ha suggerito il programma di residenze, di Francesca Zanella che insieme a Marina Gorrei ha ideato il progetto ed Elisabetta Modena che ha coordinato le attività. A completamento brevi testi di introduzione dei musei coinvolti (Museo di Storia naturale, Orto Botanico e Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell'Università di Parma, Museo Glauco Lombardi, Museo Ettore Guatelli e Archivio di Stato di Parma)
Geotechnical characterisation of submarine sediments from a polluted site
No full textThe present note discusses some laboratory complexities linked to the geotechnical characterization of the soft polluted sediments sampled down from the Mar Piccolo, i.e. a marine basin located within the urban area of Taranto (south of Italy), for which the environmental remediation has been identified as a national priority. The long-lasting industrial activities, together with the waste collection from the densely populated urban center of Taranto, have been responsible for the severe environmental contamination of the Mar Piccolo. In the field of the remediation and management strategies promoted by the Italian Government, a multidisciplinary investigation has been carried out to achieve the chemical, geological and geotechnical characterization of the sediment in the basin. With this purpose, the standard procedures and equipment for geotechnical testing were properly modified to both minimize the soil disturbance and to take account of the influence of both the pore fluid salinity and the presence of organic compounds, shells, mussels and lapideous elements or industrial waste in the soil

No full textL’articolo presenta un approccio originale alla gestione dei siti marini contaminati in cui l’ingegneria geotecnica fa da cerniera tra la caratterizzazione ambientale e la selezione delle tecnologie di messa in sicurezza. Prendendo ispirazione da un emblematico caso italiano di sistema ambientale ad alta contaminazione, lo studio propone un nuovo approccio basato sul Modello Concettuale di Progetto di Sito (CDSM). Il CDSM include non solo le condizioni al contorno e le informazioni sullo stato corrente del sistema, ma anche i processi in atto al suo interno. Dall’analisi del CDSM sviluppata anche alla luce della Teoria della Complessità, si è potuta costruire una matrice di resilienza utile ad indirizzare la selezione delle opzioni e delle tecnologie per la messa in sicurezza e la bonifica. L’approfondimento sulle caratteristiche chemo-meccaniche dei sedimenti ha, tuttavia, mostrato che il sistema può esistere al bordo, tra caos e complessità, diventando di tipo complesso adattativo e rendendo più difficili le previsioni della sua evoluzione.The article deals with an original approach to contaminated marine sites where geotechnical engineering is bridging the gap between site characterisation and first selection of remedial strategies. The research has been prompted by a highly contaminated marine site in Italy and it is centred on the Conceptual Design Site Model (CDSM). The CDSM is based not only on the knowledge of the main current system’s characteristics and boundary conditions but also on the coupled processes acting within it. The analysis of the model has been developed in light of the Complexity Theory and has brought about the building of the so-called resilience matrix. The matrix is a new tool to address site-specific management options and technology screening. However, the focus on the chemo-mechanical properties of the marine sediments has shown that, at some scale, the whole system can enter the edge-of-chaos. In this condition, the site turns out to be a complex adaptive system and predictions about its future development become more challenging
Slope – atmosphere interaction in a tectonized clayey slope: a case study
No full textRainfall infiltration to depth in slopes formed by clayey soils has been generally considered minor, to the extent of being assumed not influential on deep instabilities. As a consequence, rarely monitoring campaigns include piezometric monitoring at large depths. Furthermore, the modelling of seepage at depth is generally not satisfactory because it has to account for the lithostratigraphy of the whole slope and the hydro-geological boundary conditions, seldom surveyed with the appropriate accuracy. The present paper addresses this gap of knowledge in the field of slope-atmosphere interaction, being concerned with the effects of climate on the equilibrium at large depths in slopes formed by clayey soils. In particular, the clayey soils of reference are very widespread in the southern Apennines (Italy), often part of tectonized turbidites, that are in general sequences of fissured clays and fractured rock strata. The paper discusses the results of a research on a case history, the Pisciolo hill-slope (Melfi, Italy), a pilot site largely representative of the slopes in the Daunia and Lucanian Apennines. In the slopes of this region the combination of the clay poor strength properties with the high pore-water pressures prompts the propagation of deep failures, resulting in slow to extremely slow landsliding in slopes of even small inclination. Therefore, the research is aimed to investigate the sources of the large piezometric heads that predispose the slope to instability and the external causes that trigger the slope accelerations. The geological model of the Pisciolo slope and the results of the mechanical and hydraulic characterization of the fissured clays are first presented in the paper. Thereafter, numerical analyses of the seasonal rainfall infiltration and evapo-transpiration are reported with the aim to predict transient flow conditions and to verify the agreement with field monitoring data
