Abstract
One of the research activities carried out by the Impact on Soil and Coast division of CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change) concerns the impacts on territory monitoring activity and hydrological risk prevention.The activity purpose is identifying slide triggering factors in pyroclastic soils of the Campania Region.This preliminary analysis identifies the role that shape of the slope and boundary conditions play into seepage processes.Seep dynamics into the soil can be analysed with the FEM software SEEP/W (Geo-Slope International LTD, 2004); it is able to model the water flow and the pore-water pressure distribution through porous materials. Depending on the infiltration amounts, suction, pore water pressure and soil physical properties can be modified.Pyroclastic soil of Nocera Inferiore (Salerno) is tested.
