| Zusammenfassung |
| Accumulation of tephra fallout produced during explosive eruptions can
cause roof collapses in areas near the volcano, when the weight of the
deposit exceeds some threshold value that depends on the quality of
buildings. The additional loading of water that remains trapped in the
tephra deposits due to rainfall can contribute to increasing the loading
of the deposits on the roofs. Here we propose a simple approach to
estimate an upper bound for the contribution of rain to the load of
pyroclastic deposits that is useful for hazard assessment purposes. As
case study we present an application of the method in the area of
Naples, Italy, for a reference eruption from Vesuvius volcano. |
