On the contribution of tidal floods on damp walls of Venice

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction
The city of Venice, Italy, has historically coped with tidal flooding and is an example of a resilient system, but today the disruptive effects of relative sea level rise pose even more complex challenges. Some of the most significant damage to the city's historic architectural assets is related to the effects of salty water on masonry due to rising ...
