Organic waste materials for Bioengineering works

2016

Bioengineering uses plant and biodegradable materials of natural origin, stones, steel, additives and synthetic products in various combinations and as support for the growth of plants. The lack of available resources and progressive increasing of desertification in Sicily, led to the search for alternative materials. Objective of the work is testing organic waste materials for the realization of bioengineering works in the several areas of application: terrestrial, fluvial and coastline. To this aim, is proposed the use of innovative techniques that involve the construction of low-cost brushwood, environmentally friendly materials made: the pruning of vines and the oceanic Posidonia oceani…

Verifica delle equazioni disponibili per la stima della potenza cinetica delle precipitazioni naturali

2016

Nella memoria sono riportati i risultati delle indagini condotte utilizzando le distribuzioni dimensionali delle gocce di pioggia (DSD) rilevate mediante un disdrometro ottico installato, nel periodo Giugno 2006 - Marzo 2014, presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie e Forestali dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo e nel periodo Luglio 2015-Gennaio 2016 presso la stazione sperimentale di El Teularet in Spagna. Dopo aver aggregato le DSD per classi di intensità differenti in ampiezza, è stata determinata la potenza cinetica associando a ciascun diametro della DSD aggregata la relativa velocità di caduta calcolata mediante una relazione reperita in letteratura. I valori di potenza cinetica …

Testing the use of an image-based technique to measure gully erosion at Sparacia experimental area

2017

The first part of this investigation was aimed at testing the use of a three‐dimensional (3D) digital terrain model and a quasi‐tridimensional (2.5D) digital elevation model obtained by a large series of oblique images of eroded channels taken from consumer un‐calibrated and non‐metric cameras. For two closed earth channels having a different sinuosity, the ground measurement of some cross sections by a profilometer (P) was carried out and their real volume was also measured. The comparison among the three methods (3D, 2.5D, and P) pointed out that a limited underestimation of the total volume always occurs and that the 3D method is characterized by the minimum difference between measured a…
