My Works on:
I am a Mining Engineer, that works in many engineering's
areas.
My graduate vote was 100/100 with Lode, at Bologna University,
(the most ancient university in the world!).
My thesis were about dowel effect in rock's bolting. I wrote a
2D Fem non linear Model all in Pascal, it worked fine until very
large displacements are reached. I promised to myself to solve
this problem, but work said no...
I developed the program by myself, but with consulents of my
Professor, Prof. Ing. Albino Lembo-Fazio and the scientist that
is Prof. Ing. Ribacchi of La Sapienza University, in
collaboration with PhD Ing.Alessandro ...?

I began to work on affacintating studies about hydrology, geo
hydrology of ground water, hydraulics, geotechinal problems,
geotechnical laboratories apparatus...
and now... i continue with these works, in SGAI
Srl and in developing software,
engineering softaware and helpful utilities for engineers.

Conoide, in red: gravel, yellow:sand, cyan:silt or clay.
Horizontal lines are interpretations as suggested by the model.

Of my works:
- Rio Melo River, Hydraulic study about the effects of Monosecolar
Flood. This work is subdivided in hydrologic study on Rio Melo Basin
(using most modern models of U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers) and, after
evaluated the maximum monosecolar discharge frome every section, the
solution of hydraulic model of Rio Melo (in pseudo-steady state). Study
ended and accepted in 1998.
- Ground Water flow of Marecchia's conoide. I have developed two
types of model, a geologic one, with more than 800 stratigraphic
columns (fig.1), after this and a geochemical study of more than 50
wells in 20years, I find all the acquifers, and all distinctions one
from the other. After this I am developing a ground water flow model (a
difference finite one) of all acquifers, (semi3D). AMIR. In this work
Hisotopy has a fundamental role. We study tritium, O-18, C-14 and N-15
of wells, rain, river and small effluents.
- Geological, hydrogeological and Ground Water Studies of Basin of Uliveto Springs.
- Water Wells Log and interpretation at Piagge del Prete, Frasassi,
about Temperature, Conducibility, pH, Eh, dissolved Oxygen.
- Study of Thermal Basin of Sirmione Terme. Is one of most
affascinating studies. With this work I studied the origin, time of
permanence and quality of the ancient sulfur water of Sirmione Terme,
Garda's Lake. Hysotopy helped very much in this study. It was done by
Prof. Philippe Olive of CRG,
Centre de Recerge Geodynamique of Pierre Marie Curie University.
After my thesis on modelling rockbolting effect, at the
interface rock-bolt I worked in
- Geomechanics of Cipollaio Valico Gallery, Provincia di Lucca. I
used to modelize the wedge cinematics and mechanics, unwedge software
from ???? - Canada. After this I worked in the project of normalization
of the shape. Very interesting project. I took in field all datas for
geomechanics, and I found interesting to study the mechanics of joints
considering a tensor of JRC (the joint roughness coefficient), in fact,
for my experience, JRC has a maximum and a minimum value in all joints,
and these can be accepted as orthogonal one to the other. About this I
developed a simple theory considering JRC as a matrix 2x2 [JRC] (aij).
Referred to the cinematic direction in the plane we will have 4
coefficients, 2 equals: a12=a21, in the main direction just 2: a11 and
a22. JRC in {n} direction will be: {n}T[JRC]{n}.
Still developing a statistical calculation of Safety Factor, due to
variance of datas as JRC, JCS, length of joints, fill of joints, etc...
- Bishop model for Slope analysis. I developed a pre and post
processing software that helps in Bishop's slope stabilities
calculations. It is interactive with AutoCAD!.
- Piles calculations
- SGAI's Geotechnical Laboratory
researcher, for viscoplasticity on soft rocks. I am going to develop
the viscoplastic behaviour with the incredible and fantastic Tochnog
(D. Roddeman freeware FEM software)!
- Minimetro Perugia: FLAC Analysis of metro tunnel with a road
tunnel:


I conducted an analysis of a big slope stability. First
modelling with UDEC after
inspecting the
effect of a big movement of rocks downhill (with a rockfall model and
after 'playing'
with the wonderful DDA of Shi).

Works on Rock Fall Simulation with 3D modeling of surface (sgaisurf software) and rockfall simulation:
Geotechnics and Geomechanics:
- Viscoplasticity of soft rocks, I can do many research
laboratories tests, so I will have many datas... any idea?
- Soil Mecanichs. Still thinking about a new approach on particles
for soil modelling. In fact it is very difficult to use particles for
their bond, at every step of calculation it is frustrating to watch if
vertices or segments goes inside another particle... so... Why don't
use a 'field'?... Yes like physic's foces as gravitational and
electrical. If we say that repulsive force will win with low distance
(i.e. rn) and the other will have effect at high distance (rm,
m<n) we can simulate particles united as a media (attractive force)
but not compenetrant (repulsive force at low distance)... can work? any
idea?
Gechemistry:
- I'd like to study the ion exchange in the unsatured zone, in
particular the effects of NH4+ in
clays or sands. Maybe someone else did it... do you know anything about
this? This will help in studies about pollutant as nitrate in acquifers.
- Still triing to understand how to classify a marine clay instead
of a continental clay. How can be done?... I would like to develope an
'expert system' that will classify...
