    The stability features of slopes located above the portals of tunnels along important roads are here presented, together with two examples for reinforcement and protection works. The investigation phase and the reinforcement works have considered also the purpose of avoiding the interruption of the traffic when this would cause unacceptable consequences. The first case refers about the construction of a portal along a narrow and steep valley in a volcanick rock formation. The control of the vibration of the blasting action has been carried out for the period of the excavation in order to foresee the occurrence of potential dangerous situations. The second is the case of the portal of the East access to the Highway n.10. Even though the adits are protected by two portals, the occurrence of rock and debris falls from the upper part of the mountain could create a dangerous situation. Above the portals the morphology of the slope is characterized by two subvertical rock slopes, which are separated by an intermediate zone of debris material

    Nello studio viene proposta una formulazione analitica per la determinazione di un criterio di rottura per le rocce. L'approccio è caratterizzato da una notevole semplicità dal punto di vista matematico per mantenendo una buona corrispondenza dei risultati analitici con quelli sperimentali e consentendo un confronto tra le varie formulazioni possibili. Con tale metodo è stata condotta la determinazione di un inviluppo di tipo conico per alcune rocce ben definite mediante risultati di prove di laboratorio ricavate dalla letteratura tecnica. Tali inviluppi sono messi a confronto per definire la precisione ottenuta in relazione ai dati sperimentali disponibil

    Waste disposal involves the resolving of various geotechnical problems during the design progress of a landfill. Among these problems is that of analyzing the stability conditions of complex structures also made up of waste materials. A reliable knowledge of the geotechnical parameters of wastes is required for a correct design. This consideration, together with the lack of research so far carried oou on this subject, induced the authors to develop an experimental study with the purpose of better knowing the shear behaviour of urban wastes. In the paper the results of some direct shear tests carried out on municipa waste bales and interposed materials are presented
