Other activities and projects related to research

Bellopede research activity has been developed on recovery and treatment of solid waste, durability of natural stone, bowing of natural stone slabs, testing to asbestos content measure. Following the description of the main research projects carried on:

Recycling and processing of tunnel muck and stone waste and other secondary raw material. Within the REMUCK project "Innovative methods for the eco-compatible and sustainable recycling of muck from tunnel excavation, also considering the potential content of noxious minerals" she is studying on the basis of the petrographic, physical and mechanical properties the possible uses of the muck like primary mineral raw material.

Evaluation of durability of different natural stones. Within the European project McDUR ("Effects of the Weathering On Stone Materials: Assessment of their Mechanical Durability, VFP) she studied different NDT techniques to evaluate, both in situ and in laboratory, the durability of natural stones. Within the European project TEAM (Testing and Assessment of Marble and Limestone, V PQ) she studied, by means of laboratory tests and accelerated ageing cycles on marble specimens, the causes of bowing phenomenon on façade marble slabs.
