The historic city of Venice and its surrounding islands face a significant threat due to the increasing frequency of tidal flooding. This deterioration is attributed to a combination of factors, including climate change-induced sea-level rise and natural and anthropic subsidence. The gap between land surface and sea levels has shrunk, leading to more frequent and severe flooding events.
Geotechnics of Venice and Its Lagoon offers a comprehensive exploration of the geotechnical challenges faced by this iconic city. The book delves into the various environmental problems, such as land subsidence and wetland surface reduction, and provides innovative solutions to address them. For instance, it discusses the design of tilting gate foundations to withstand high tides and the restoration and improvement of the drainage system in Piazza San Marco. These measures are crucial in preserving Venice's extraordinary cultural heritage.
The book provides an authoritative analysis of one of the world's largest and most important geotechnical issues. It offers a detailed case study of an ongoing engineering solution, providing valuable insights for engineers worldwide. The book is also an excellent reference for students interested in learning more about the complex phenomena occurring in Venice's sensitive silts.
In conclusion, Geotechnics of Venice and Its Lagoon is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the geotechnical aspects of this remarkable city. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by Venice and offers innovative solutions to preserve its cultural heritage. It is a must-read for engineers, students, and anyone concerned about the future of this iconic destination.
